logarithmic functions

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Prove that \[\frac{ lnx }{ xln10 } + \frac{ logx }{ x }\] = \[\frac{ 2lnx }{ xln10 }\]

OpenStudy (phi):

use the change of base formula to change log x to ln x

OpenStudy (phi):

I assume log x means log base 10 x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i forgot...i m doing derivatives and i got the first answer...book says the first answer can be solved to second one...i just dont remember log functions anymore

OpenStudy (phi):

\[ \log x = \frac{\ln x}{\ln(10)} \]

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

he's correct

OpenStudy (anonymous):

nm got it thx

OpenStudy (phi):

you could use a calculator and check. most calculators do both natural log and log base 10

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

$$ \cfrac{\cfrac{ln(x)}{ln(10)}}{x} \implies \cfrac{ln(x)}{xln(10)} $$

OpenStudy (phi):

yes, and you get your result
