Logarithm Question!!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Evaluate in terms of p \[\log_{c} b\] if ... \[\log_{b}a =p \] and c=a^2

hartnn (hartnn):

put a = \(\sqrt c\) in that and tell me what u get ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

log _b (root c) = p

hartnn (hartnn):

right , now use the property that \(\log x^y=y \log x\) so what will be \(\log_b c^{1/2} = ? \)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1/2 (log_b (c))

hartnn (hartnn):

right, that is p, so what is (log_b (c)) = ?

OpenStudy (dumbcow):

what a fun problem...i won't spoil the solution and let hartnn explain the steps

OpenStudy (anonymous):

um....2p

hartnn (hartnn):

thats correct. then use the property that \(\huge \log_xy=\frac{\log y}{\log x} = \frac{1}{\log_yx}\)

hartnn (hartnn):

(log_b (c)) = 2p so whats (log_c (b)) = ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol i am not fimiliar with that property.. but it equals 1/(2p)

hartnn (hartnn):

yes, 1/(2p) is correct. its one of the very useful properties of log. u want a list of all the log properties ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes please XD

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank you!

hartnn (hartnn):

welcome ^_^
