LOG , please help me

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\huge 3^{\log27}(a ^{2}+1)^{3}\] I know it is easy but i don't know why i am not able to simplify it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

does it help to know that \(27=3^3\)?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah did that

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i guess is should first ask, what is the base of that logarithm?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Sorry it is 27

OpenStudy (anonymous):

actually base ten is common log , natural log is base \(e\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

27 is the base

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So we can write it as 3^3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\huge 3^{\log_{27}(a^2+1)^3}~~?\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

YES

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ooh i am going to make a guess my gues is that it is \[\large 3^{\log_{27}(a^2+3)^2}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@SithsAndGiggles that's twice now

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Sorry i have to do some latex practice

mathslover (mathslover):

lol Satellite (a^2 + 1)^3 ...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

quick on the draw haha

OpenStudy (anonymous):

my typing skillz got shot off in the war

mathslover (mathslover):

No.name it should be easy for you now... \(\large{ a^{\log_{a} x} = x}\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\huge 3^{\log_33}(a ^2+1)^{3}\]

mathslover (mathslover):

\(\LARGE{ 3^{\log_{3^3} (a^2+1)^3}}\) Remember that : \(\LARGE \log_{a^x} (y) = \cfrac{1}{x} \log_{a} y\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A^2+1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\Huge a ^{2}+1\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I don't i why i forgot that property lol

mathslover (mathslover):

So, that base has 3 to the power of 3... the power will come out as fraction : 1/3 That is : \(\LARGE 3^{\cfrac{1}{3}\log_{3} (a^2+1)^3 }\) Moreover, the power of(a^2+1) is 3... so that will also come out \(\LARGE 3^{\cfrac{3}{3} \log_{3} (a^2+1) }\)

mathslover (mathslover):

Oh yes, you got it ... it is \(a^2+1\) ..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I forgot that property lol

mathslover (mathslover):

:) It happens. Just try to practice more questions of logarithm, and you will soon become an EXPERT! :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

YUP!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\huge 7^{4\log_{49}^ {a}}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

For this we again write 49 as 7^7 right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@mathslover

mathslover (mathslover):

7^2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh yes sorry typo , 7^2 So, the whole term would become a^2

mathslover (mathslover):

Yeah.
