Question

Write log (√a^2b^3/c^4)^5 in terms of log a, logb, log c
​

Answer 1

Let x denote the required logarithm.

Therefore, log2√3 1728 = x

or, (2√3)x = 1728 = 26 ∙ 33 = 26 ∙ (√3)6

or, (2√3)x = (2√3)6

Therefore, x = 6.

(ii) 0.000001 to the base 0.01.

Solution:

Let y be the required logarithm.

Therefore, log0.01 0.000001 = y

or, (0.01y = 0.000001 = (0.01)3

Therefore, y = 3.
