Question

how to solve this guys. your help would be gladly appreciated :D

log(base 2) 5+ log(base3) 5

Answer 1

\[\log_2{5} + \log_3{5} ?\]

Answer 2

There is nothing to solve. That requires an equation of some sort.

Answer 3

so this equation cant be solved?

Answer 4

It can be simplified with the change of base formula. You can do this:\[\log _{2}(5)=\frac{ \log(5) }{\log(2) }\]and \[\log _{3}(5)=\frac{ \log(5) }{ \log(3) }\]

Answer 5

\[\frac{ \log(5) }{\log(2) }=2.322\]and \[\frac{ \log(5) }{\log(3) }=1.465\]If you add those together you get 3.787. That's all I can come up with for this.

Answer 6

okay. I got it. thanks for the help :D

Answer 7

Are you using the change of base formula in math class?

Answer 8

yes.

Answer 9

I just wanted tp be sure if my answer was correct.

Answer 10

It isn't an equation. And thus, it cannot be solved.

The expression can be evaluated.
