If g(x)=2log(x-3)+1 and the base is 10 what is g-1(x)?

We have g(x) = 2 log (x - 3) +
1


Let y = g(x) = 2 log (x - 3) +
1


=> y - 1 = 2 log (x -
3)


=> (y - 1)/2 = log (x -
3)


taking the base of the log as
10


=> 10^[(y - 1)/2] = x -
3


=> x = 10^[(y - 1)/2] +
3


interchange x and
y


=> y = 10^[(x - 1)/2] +
3


Therefore the inverse function of g(x)
is


g^-1(x) = y = 10^[(x - 1)/2] +
3

Calculate tan(x-y), if sin x=1/2 and sin y=1/3. 0

We'll write the formula of the tangent of difference of 2 angles. tan (x-y) = (tan x - tan y)/(1 + tan x*tan y) ...
