Someone check my work please!

HanAkoSolo (jamierox4ev3r):

Hold on, let me write it first

HanAkoSolo (jamierox4ev3r):

\[\log _{b ^{n}}=\frac{ 1 }{ n }\log _{b}x\]

HanAkoSolo (jamierox4ev3r):

Basically, I'm supposed to prove that these two are the same, let me show my work

OpenStudy (primeralph):

Where's the x in the LHS?

HanAkoSolo (jamierox4ev3r):

\[\frac{ \log _{b}x }{ \log _{b} (b ^{n} )}=\frac{ \log _{b} x}{ nlog _{b}b}\]

HanAkoSolo (jamierox4ev3r):

crud @primeralph I forgot the x, sorry x_x

OpenStudy (primeralph):

Crud?

HanAkoSolo (jamierox4ev3r):

crud=darn (at least for me)

OpenStudy (primeralph):

Okay, just correct the equation.

HanAkoSolo (jamierox4ev3r):

\[\log _{b ^{n}}x=\frac{ 1 }{ n }\log _{b}x\] ^ That is the correct equation. Terribly sorry

HanAkoSolo (jamierox4ev3r):

and rem my final step in the process of proving this statement was: \[_{}\frac{ \log _{b} x}{ n }=\frac{ 1 }{ n }\log_bx\]

HanAkoSolo (jamierox4ev3r):

Does this make any sense to anyone looking at this? >.<

OpenStudy (primeralph):

Try proving it sequentially.

HanAkoSolo (jamierox4ev3r):

sequentially? O_O erm what do you mean?

OpenStudy (primeralph):

In order.

OpenStudy (primeralph):

Step by step; with logic. And don't bother using LatTex

HanAkoSolo (jamierox4ev3r):

I mean, I know this is a true statement, but proving things has always been a hassle for me. This time, I'll try to put the entire proof in one comment :P and I won't bother with \(\LaTeX\) this time

OpenStudy (primeralph):

I never asked you to put it all in one comment. Just explain the logic behind what you do.

HanAkoSolo (jamierox4ev3r):

Ohh okay, I see. So I already wrote out the original equation several times (albeit incorrectly the first time), but I'll do it again: log (b_n)x=1/2log_b x This is what I am being asked to prove.

OpenStudy (primeralph):

1/2?

OpenStudy (primeralph):

Just draw it out.

HanAkoSolo (jamierox4ev3r):

no, erm 1/n and lol will do i suppose
