HELP? :) Logs... Typing equation in a sec...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[3\log_{3} (21)\]

OpenStudy (yrelhan4):

Again. Use the property we used last time. 3log3(21)=x You just have to find x.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So do I just kind of ignore the 3 in front of the log?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That's what confused me mainly..

OpenStudy (yrelhan4):

Nah. First find the value of log3(21) and then multiply 3 with it.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay, I'm confused... could you explain more?

OpenStudy (yrelhan4):

Eh wait. I think i'm doing this wrong. Just a min.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay, sorry ^^;

OpenStudy (yrelhan4):

Ok you should know this property of logs. a*log b(c) = [log b (c)]^a .. yeah?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I didn't know, but now I do kind of XD

OpenStudy (yrelhan4):

ah well. i am sorry but i'm confused again. sorry about that. :| @kropot72 ?

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

is it \(\bf log_{3} (21) = x \ \ ?\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No. There is no = sign anywhere.

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

or \(\bf 3log_{3} (21) \ \ \ ?\)

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

so just \(\bf log_{3} (21)\) ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yup, thats the one I posted.

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

well, I keep missing the 3 :/

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Its the first one you did with the 3 in front of the log

OpenStudy (dls):

\[3\log_3(21)=3\log_3(7 \times 3)=3\log_3(7)+3\log_3(3)=3\log_3(7)+3\] \[3\log_3(7)=3\frac{\log_77}{\log_73}+3\]

OpenStudy (dls):

\[3 (1-\log_73)+3=6-\log_73\] answer can be in many forms..??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

a. 21 c. 3 b. -1 d. 1.04

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It goes A, C, B, D.. IDK why XD

OpenStudy (dls):

Using this.. \[3\log_3(21)=3\log_3(7 \times 3)=3\log_3(7)+3\log_3(3)=3\log_3(7)+3\] \[3 \frac{\log_{10}7}{\log_{10}3}+3=3(0.4771)=1.4313\] Using this.. \[6−\log_73=6-6-0.845=5.155\] hmm dunno.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

o_o

OpenStudy (dls):

@terenzreignz to the rescue <3

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

\(\bigodot_\bigodot\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

...

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

hmmm, can you post a screenshot of the material?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The question looks exactly how I posted it here.

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

well, I can show you what I got \(\bf 3log_{3} (21) \implies log_3(21^3)\\ \textrm{using log change of base rule of } log_ab = \cfrac{log_cb}{log_ca}\\ log_3(21^3) \implies \cfrac{log_{10}21^3}{log_{10}3}\)

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

and it ain't any of your answers

OpenStudy (anonymous):

....weird

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

though there's nothing wrong with it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well I guessed XD Thanks for trying guys.
