Question

A teacher used the change of base formula to determine whether the equation below is correct. (log Subscript 2 Baseline 10) (log Subscript 4 Baseline 8) (log Subscript 10 Baseline 4) = 3 Which statement explains whether the equation is correct? The equation is correct since (log Subscript 2 Baseline 10) (log Subscript 4 Baseline 8) (log Subscript 10 Baseline 4) = log (2 times 10) times log (4 times 8) times log (10 times 4). = log (20) times log (32) times log (40). =3 The equation is correct since (log Subscript 2 Baseline 10) (log Subscript 4 Baseline 8) (log Subscript 10 Baseline 4) = StartFraction log 10 Over log 2 EndFraction times StartFraction log 8 Over log 4 EndFraction times StartFraction log 4 Over log 10 EndFraction. = StartFraction log 8 Over log 2 EndFraction. = 3 The equation is correct since (log Subscript 2 Baseline 10) (log Subscript 4 Baseline 8) (log Subscript 10 Baseline 4) = StartFraction log 10 Over log 2 EndFraction times StartFraction log 8 Over log 4 EndFraction times StartFraction log 4 Over log 10 EndFraction. = StartFraction log 8 Over log 2 EndFraction. = 4. The equation is not correct since (log Subscript 2 Baseline 10) (log Subscript 4 Baseline 8) (log Subscript 10 Baseline 4) = log StartFraction 10 Over 2 EndFraction times log eight-fourths times log four-tenths. = log 5 times log 2 times log 0. 4. = negative 0. 8.

Answer 1

The solution to the problem is correct and the correct option from the given options is B.

What is Logarithm?

A log function is a way to find how much a number must be raised in order to get the desired number.

$a^c =b$

can be written as

$\rm{log_ab=c$

where a is the base to which the power is to be raised,

b is the desired number that we want when power is to be raised,

c is the power that must be raised to a to get b.

For example, let's assume we need to raise the power for 10 to make it 1000 in this case log will help us to know that the power must be raised by 3.

The given logarithmic problem can be solved in the following manner, therefore,

$\rm log_210\ log_48\ log_{10}4$

Using the logarithmic properties, we can write,

$=\rm \dfrac{log10}{log2}\cdot \dfrac{log8}{log4}\cdot \dfrac{log4}{log10}$

Now cancelling out the values we will get,

$=\rm \dfrac{log2^3}{log2}\\\\=\rm \dfrac{3log2}{log2}\\\\= 3$

Thus, the solution to the problem is correct and the correct option from the given options is B.
