1. Use the fact that logbx - logby = logb(x/y)
log5180 - log575 - log560 = log5(1/25) → log5(25-1) → log5(5-2)
2. Now use the fact that logb(bm) = m
log5(5-2) = -2
So log5180 - log575 - log560 = -2
.
Use Snell's law: sin(i)/sin(r) = n
i is angle of incidence, r is angle of refraction, so r = sin-1(sin(35°)/1.33) ≈ 19.2°
-13 is the correct mathematical result, because multiplication takes priority over addition and subtraction. Scientific calculators should do this correctly.
Some non-scientific calculators just use a left to right priority, so they will do the operations from left to right as they are written. Avoid these left to right calculators like the plague!!
As below:
Yes! \(\frac{0.5}{0.5}=1\)
As follows:
Yes. As long as you mean -(4!).
Factorials of negative numbers are not defined, so (-4)! isn't defined.
Ensure the calculator is in degree mode (its default) and enter M/60 where M is the number of minutes.
Here's a slightly different (but no quicker) way:
Yes. Try https://www.desmos.com/calculator (though I didn't use this!)
