Answer:

x - y

Step-by-step explanation:

x = logₐ 6

y = logₐ 3

logₐ 2

= logₐ ( 6 / 3 )

= logₐ 6 - logₐ 3

= x - y


gangidiakshith: these answer is wrong
Anonymous: Ah. I see the clarification on what was meant by the question. It wasn't log_a 2 that was wanted, but log_a (a/2). Okay...
This is just log a - log 2 (all logs base a) = 1 - log 2 = 1 - x + y (log 2 is already done above). So 1 - x + y is your answer.
gangidiakshith: no my answer and correct answer is 0 - x - y
Anonymous: Hmmm. You seem to have a problem.
log(a/2) = log(3a/6) = log 3 + log a - log 6 = y + 1 - x = 1 - x + y.
It can't be simpler.
gangidiakshith: hey I am typing the answer you see

muthyamsaimadhuri: tnq i got it

log a 6=x log a 3=y

log a a - 2

1 - 2 **** (log a a = 1)

multiply with log base a

log base a (1-2)

log a 1 - log a 2

0 - log a 6/3 ****(log a 1 = 0)

0-log a 6 - log a 3

***0-x-y***
