which one ?

Q16

hartnn (hartnn):

for part (i), take log on both sides, log p=.... ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lg p = lg a^loga x ?

hartnn (hartnn):

yes, now use, \(\log m^n=m \log n\)

hartnn (hartnn):

sorry, n log m

hartnn (hartnn):

what u get ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lg p = loga x * lg a

hartnn (hartnn):

write log, not lg now use, \(\huge \log_ab=\frac{\log b}{\log a}\) so what is log_a x = ??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

log x / log a

hartnn (hartnn):

now substitute that in log p = loga x * log a

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm not sure what to do but is it: log p = (log x/log a) * log a ?

hartnn (hartnn):

really ? just cancel out log a from numerator and denominator.... what remains ??

hartnn (hartnn):

and yes, its that

hartnn (hartnn):

shall i write out all steps ??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh wait I got it ><' Thank you so much! :)

hartnn (hartnn):

u want part 2 also ??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yup

hartnn (hartnn):

\(If, x=\log_ab \implies b=a^x\) so what about , q=log_4 3 ??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3 = 4^x

hartnn (hartnn):

u mean 3=4^q ??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry yup

hartnn (hartnn):

now u need 3^(1/q) =... ? so what will u do ??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm not sure..?

hartnn (hartnn):

raise both sides to (1/q) exponent...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

How do you do that sorry

hartnn (hartnn):

\(\huge 3^{(1/q)}= (4^q)^{1/q}\)

hartnn (hartnn):

\(\huge (4^q)^{1/q}=.....?\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

right?

hartnn (hartnn):

yes.

hartnn (hartnn):

and you are done ..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay thanks a lot!

hartnn (hartnn):

welcome ^_^
