The table shows a student’s proof of the quotient rule for logarithms.Let M = bx and N = by for some real numbers x and y. StepReason1Given2Substitution3Properties of logarithms4Logarithm property logb(bc) = c5SubstitutionWhat is the error in the proof?

Question illustration
A
The error is in step 3. The reason should be the quotient property of exponents.
B
The error is in step 3. You cannot use a property of logarithms to prove that same property.
C
The error is in step 2. The reason should be the quotient property of exponents.
D
The error is in step 5. The student did not convert from exponential to logarithmic form correctly when solving for x and y.

The loudness, L, measured in decibels (Db), of a sound intensity, I, measured in watts per square meter, is defined as , where and is the least intense sound a human ear can hear. Brandon is trying to take a nap, and he can barely hear his neighbor mowing the lawn. The sound intensity level that Brandon can hear is 10-10. Ahmad, Brandon’s neighbor that lives across the street, is mowing the lawn, and the sound intensity level of the mower is 10-4. How does Brandon’s sound intensity level compare to Ahmad’s mower?

Question illustration
A
Brandon’s sound intensity is the level of Ahmad’s mower.
Option A
B
Brandon’s sound intensity is the level of Ahmad’s mower.
Option B
C
Brandon’s sound intensity is 20 times the level of Ahmad’s mower.
D
Brandon’s sound intensity is 80 times the level of Ahmad’s mower.
