log in

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What's the question matey?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[ {\log_12\log_2 3\log_34...\log_n(n+1)}=\frac {x}{ \log _{n+1}n^n}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

find x in terms of n

OpenStudy (anonymous):

big version\[\huge \color{blue}{\log_12\log_23\log_34...\log_n(n+1)}=\frac{x}{\log _{n+1}n^n}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i just made this up,already know how to do it can you see the trick

OpenStudy (amistre64):

is that multiplying a bunch of logs together?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (amistre64):

im curious if just multiply bot sides by that log denominator thing would suffice; that gets all ns to one side and all xs to the other.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ye that will do but the LHS can be simplified without multiplying

OpenStudy (amistre64):

i dont have the wherewithal at the moment to try to sort thru these cobwebs to simplify that :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wait can i edit the question right hand side

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\frac{x}{n \log _{n+1}1}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

HINT change of base

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@amistre64

OpenStudy (anonymous):

using \[\log _ab=\frac{\log b}{\log a}\] \[\frac{ \log 2 }{ \log 1 }\frac{ \log 3 }{ \log 2 }\frac{ \log 4 }{ \log 3 }...\frac{ \log n }{ \log n-1 }\frac{ \log n+1 }{ \log n }=\frac{x}{n \log _{n+1}n}\] hence we have all logs from 2 to n cancel out \[\frac{\log n+1}{\log 1}=\frac{x}{n \log _{n+1}1}\] \[n \frac{\log n+1}{\log 1}\frac{1}{\log n+1}=x \implies x=n\]
