log(10^5 x^3) = ?

OpenStudy (goformit100):

@mbradar2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is it 5x^3?

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

depends is that \[\huge \log 10^{5x^3}\] if so you're right

OpenStudy (eyust707):

\(\log_{10}(5x^3) \) ?

OpenStudy (eyust707):

lol

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

\[\large \log (10^{5x^3}) \implies 5x^3 \log (10) \implies 5x^3 (1) \implies 5x^3\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\log{(10^5x^3)} \]

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

oh then you are wrong

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how to solve that though?

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

\[\log(10^5 x^3) \implies \log 10^5 + \log x^3\] do you see this?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the choices are 15x^3 15log(x) 5+3log(x) 15

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

yeah it's one of those

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

so do you see what i did?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what i cant understand

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i know the property but idk how you'll come up with one of them

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

it's product law \[\log (ab) \implies \log a + \log b\]

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

you come up witht hem through experience. you just see them

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yah, but how will you get the answers though?

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

first of all do you get what i did? \[\log (10^5 x^3) \implies \log 10^5 + \log x^3\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohh so its 5+3log(x)

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

yup

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

now you saw it lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank you, whats the difference of the log base 10 ^5x^3 and log(10^5 x^3)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah thank you so much

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

is that just a space? or you failed to copy paste a symbol?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i have another question

OpenStudy (anonymous):

just a space

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

then there's no difference..we just put spaces to depict that x^3 is not part of 5..for better visuals

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohhh see
