Given the function g defined by the formula g(x)=x-5/2 find the following: (a) g(9) (b) g(0) (c) g(3) (d) g(17)

the answer is 8/21

hope this

take the logarithm of both sides (the base of the log doesn't matter):

apply the exponent property - this says that :

distribute the log terms on both sides:

group like terms together:

divide through both sides by the coefficient on :

you can do some additional rewriting here using the properties of the logarithm to simplify things if you like:
