\(10^x=0.1\)%\(*10^y\)

\(=>10^x=\frac{0.1}{100}*10^y=>10^x*100=10^{-1}*10^y\)

\(=>10^{x+2}=10^{y-1}\)

\(=>x+2=y-1 => y=x+3\)

Option B

D. y = 1,000x

Given

10^x equals 0.1 percent of 10^y.

So, we can translate into equation.


\(10^x\) = 0.1% * \(10^y\)

\(10^x\) = (0.1 /100)* \(10^y\)

\(10^x\) = 0.001 *\(10^y\)

\(10^x\) = 1*\(10^{y-3}\)

\(10^x\) = \(10^{y-3}\)

x = y-3

y = x+3

Thus the best answer is B.

\(10^x\) \(=\) \(\frac{0.1}{100}\) \(*\) \(10^y\)

\(10^x = \frac{1}{1000} * 10^y\)

\(10^x = 10^{-3} * 10^y\)

\(x = -3 + y\)

\(y = x + 3\)

(B)

Thank you for the explanation, that made the problem quite clear.

Although, I have to admit it feels weird learning math from Johnny Sins. :lol:
