When using the Midpoint Formula, to find the location of the point 1/2 of the distance between two points, you add their
matching values and divide by two. If you only wanted to go 1/3
of the way from the endpoint on the left, how would you do that?
Would your answer change if you wanted to be 1/3 of the
distance away from the endpoint on the right? Explain.

logv3(x+2)=1

rewrite in exponential form:

logb(x) = y is equal to b^y =x

b = 3, y = 1

now solve for x:

3^1 = x+2)

x = 3-2

x = 1

see the picture for the graph.

isaiah walks 3 miles due north, turns and then 5 miles due east. how far is he from his starting point?

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

let c = distance from starting point.

(3)^2 + (5)^2 = c^2

9 + 25 = c^2

34 = c^2

sqrt{34} = sqrt{c^2}

sqrt{34} = c
