Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

its a right triangle, so we can use the pythagorean theorem to find h

(pythagorean theorem is a^2+b^2=c^2, c is the hypotenuse)

h^2+4^2=13^2

h^2+16=169

h^2=153

h=sqrt153

h≈ 12.4ft

If log2 5 = k, determine an expression for log32 5 in terms of k.

lukranit [14]

Answer:

$log_3_2(5)=\frac{1}{5} k$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's start by using change of base property:

$log_b(x)=\frac{log_a(x)}{log_a(b)}$

So, for $log_2(5)$

$log_2(5)=k=\frac{log(5)}{log(2)}\hspace{10}(1)$

Now, using change of base for $log_3_2(5)$

$log_3_2(5)=\frac{log(5)}{log(32)}$

You can express $32$ as:

$2^5$

Using reduction of power property:

$log_z(x^y)=ylog_z(x)$

$log(32)=log(2^5)=5log(2)$

Therefore:

$log_3_2(5)=\frac{log(5)}{5*log(2)}=\frac{1}{5} \frac{log(5)}{log(2)}\hspace{10}(2)$

As you can see the only difference between (1) and (2) is the coefficient $\frac{1}{5}$ :

So:

$\frac{log(5)}{log(2)} =k\\$

$log_3_2(5)=\frac{1}{5} \frac{log(5)}{log(2)} =\frac{1}{5} k$
