Which of the following is equivalent to log32 4? (the 32 is small) pls help, taking a test now
answers are : 0.4 0.424 0.125 2.5
Use the change of base formula. Both 4 and 32 are powers of 2. Use 2 as the new base for the log.
" taking a test now" ? hmmm
i dont know how to do logs at all... i never learned how to do the change of base formula @aum
\( \Huge \log_BA = \frac{\log_cA}{\log_cB} \)
\(\normalsize\color{blue}{ \log_{32}4 =\log_{32}2^2 =2\log_{32}2=2\log_{32}32^{1/5}=}\) \(\normalsize\color{blue}{ 2\log_{32}32^{1/5}= (1/5)(2)\log_{32}32=(2/5)\log_{32}32}\) ••••
This is not the final answer
You got to know how to reduce it. If you can't, then I won't reduce it for you, since you are talking a test. I am not violating more than what I already did.
\( \Large \log_{32}4 = \frac{\log_{2}4}{\log_{2}32 } = \frac{?}{?}\)
1/8 ?
@aum
oh.. thanks. :)
Are you taking a test?
yes @aum
