can somebody explain how to find the formula to the inverse function log2 6-log2 15+log 20
do you mean the inverse variation?
sorry find the exact value of the expression
do you agree that log(x^(2)) = 2log(x) ? and that x^(-1) = 1/x
yes the one to one value ?
log_2(6)-log_2(15)+log(20) so log_2(6) + log_2(15^(-1)) + log(20) = log_2(6/15) + log20
you can't simplify it anymore because the the logrithims don't share the same base
*logarithms
do you want to find the inverse of this? anyfeed back would be appreciated. BTW you can't take log(0) because A^(x) =/= 0 A being any real number
what ? i thought I was suppose to divide do log2 6*20 and divide by 15...
thew question is \[\log _{2} (6/15 \times20) = \log _{2}(8) = 3\] this is becuase 2^3 = 8
aah yes
campbell_st wth?
repost the question so it isn't so werid
you can't multiply by 20 as the log is not of the same base thus they cannot be combined cambell
well I assumed that it was base 2.... if base 10 then use change of base on all...to say base e
you shouldn't assume things when it comes to this kind of math but yeah if he wrote the question with all log_2 log_2(x) = y x = 2^(y) then it would be log_2((6/15)*20) log_2(8) = y so 8 = 2^(y) y = 3
therefore, log2 6-log2 15+log2 20 = 3
