Mieko said that the difference between the longest rose and the shortest rose is 1 inch. Is she correct? Use the drop-down menus to show and explain your answer.

Mieko is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

See attachment for complete question

Required

The length difference

Lengths with dot(s) means, there is at least 1 rose flower of that length.

So, from the attachment, we have:

The difference (d) is:

This gives:

Hence, Mieko is correct

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:
