evaluate them one by one it's easy

HanAkoSolo (jamierox4ev3r):

what do you mean? not sure what to do with the logs. that have different bases...would you just change all the bases to base 10? and @iambatman wuut? O_O

HanAkoSolo (jamierox4ev3r):

Honestly, I feel like I'm overthinking this. lol this is the first problem on my worksheet, and I was able to solve the latter problems with little trouble.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

first find \[\log_{2} 32\] which equal \[\log_{2} 2^{5}=5\log_{2} 2=5(1)=5\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so it will be \[\log_{12}(\log_{9}(\log_{5}5)) \]

HanAkoSolo (jamierox4ev3r):

So basically, \(\log_2 32\)=\(5\) right? and then you would plug it in to all the other logs! Wow that was really easy...embarrassingly easy darn I knew I was overthinking it! Here I'll try to solve it on my own and then I'll come back with the answer, please let me know if I'm correct.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

let \[\log_{2} 32=x,2^x=32=2^5,x=5\] let \[\log_{5} 5=y,5^y=5,5^y=5^1,y=1\] let \[\log_{9} 1=t,9^t=1=9^0,t=0\] let \[\log_{12} 0=r,12^r=0=\frac{ 1 }{12^{\infty} } =12^{-\infty },r=-\infty \]

:)

HanAkoSolo (jamierox4ev3r):

wow thanks guys! *_*

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah I was hinting the final answer haha :p

HanAkoSolo (jamierox4ev3r):

*gasp* but this is against the rules! You know, no ansurs :P LOL

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yw

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I didn't directly give you the answer ^.^ haha, was saying it'll "naturally" lead you to it haha. Well done @surjithayer

HanAkoSolo (jamierox4ev3r):

I see... >_> hmm, I'll let that slide this time. just kidding, well done with your incognito hints!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Haha, thanks, but surj did a great job explaining it :)

HanAkoSolo (jamierox4ev3r):

he really did O_O I'm impressed
