Question

1/4 Log(sub 2) 16 + 1/2 log(sub 2) 59 = Log (sub 2) n

Answer 1

okay tell me what laws of logarithms you are familiar of

Answer 2

well the two you showed me. there's
Log(sub a) b - log(sub a) c -> log a(b/c)
and log(sub a) b = c <--> a^c = b

Answer 3

there are two more:
\[\log_a b + \log_a c = \log_a (bc)\]
\[\log_a b^n \implies n\log_a b\]

Answer 4

tell me if you get an idea on what to do

Answer 5

it's the log(a)b + log(a)c = log(a) (bc), but i'm stuck on what to do with the 1/4 and 1/2 in front of the logs.

Answer 6

look at my second post again ;)

Answer 7

okay so i put the 1/4 and 1/2 as exponents on their respective numbers. i got Log(2) 3 + log(2) 7 = Log (2) 14. after that what do i do?

Answer 8

oh i just solved it :) dude i think you're a better teacher than my math teacher. hahah

Answer 9

lol i barely did anything :p
