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)) = ?

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!
