Step-by-step explanation:
how does the picture fit into this question ?
I guess you mean
(a² + ab)
when a = 4 and b = 3. then we simply replace the variable names by the actual values and calculate :
4² + 4×3 = 16 + 12 = 28
.
now to the picture :
i am not sure what the requested result of procedure is.
so, I am just going to simplify the expression :
(log(25) - log(4)) / (log(55) - 1/2 × log(2)
remember the rules of the logarithm :
log(a) - log(b) = log(a/b)
k × log(a) = log(a^k)
a^(1/2) = sqrt(a) (the square root of a)
I assume we are using the logarithm to the base of 10.
so, we have here
log(25/4) / log(55/sqrt(2)) =
= 0.795880017... / 1.589847692... = 0.500601423...
