@DanJS Need help!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (danjs):

do you remember the log properties?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You the log^M + log^N = log^MN thing? Yeah, I do

OpenStudy (danjs):

\[\log _{b}(x*y) = \log _{b}x + \log _{b}y\]

OpenStudy (danjs):

\[\log _{b}(\frac{ x }{ y }) = \log _{b}x - \log _{b}y\]

OpenStudy (danjs):

\[\log _{b}x^a = a*\log _{b}x\]

OpenStudy (danjs):

\[y = \log _{b}x~~~~~~or~~~~~~b^y=x\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I know them already, how do I use them

OpenStudy (danjs):

so if you have \[Log _{b}(\frac{ A^5*C^2 }{ D^6 })\] How would you rewrite that , using the rules

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the answer's 1.2 right?

OpenStudy (danjs):

i dont know, havent calculated it

OpenStudy (danjs):

You can rewrite the thing like this

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Nvm, it's not 1.2. I did 3 times 2 = 6 and then added 5 and 2.... Eventually I got 6^7/5^6

OpenStudy (danjs):

\[Log _{b}(\frac{ A^5*C^2 }{ D^6 })=\log _{b}A^5 +\log _{b}C^2 - \log _{b}D^5\] addition from the multiply rule, and subtraction from the divide rule

OpenStudy (danjs):

now the power rule applies to each term

OpenStudy (danjs):

\[Log _{b}(\frac{ A^5*C^2 }{ D^6 })=\log _{b}A^5 +\log _{b}C^2 - \log _{b}D^5 = 5*\log _{b}A + 2*\log _{b}C-5*\log _{b}D\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what's the overall answer?

OpenStudy (danjs):

So you have \[5*\log _{b}A + 2*\log _{b}C-5*\log _{b}D \] and they give you what each of the log base b of A C and D are

OpenStudy (danjs):

I hope you understand what i did and not just the answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm following..

OpenStudy (danjs):

Plugging in the values they gave you , you get 5*3 + 2*2 - 5*5

OpenStudy (danjs):

\[5*\log _{b}A + 2*\log _{b}C-5*\log _{b}D = 5*3 + 2*2 - 5*5\]

OpenStudy (danjs):

They gave you the \[\log _{b}A = 3~~~and~~~\log _{b}C=2~~~~~and~~~~~\log _{b}D=5\]

OpenStudy (danjs):

That is as close as i can get to the answer without straight telling you "the answer is". lol 5*3 + 2*2 - 5*5 =

OpenStudy (danjs):

k, welcome, goodluck

OpenStudy (triciaal):

did you get A?

OpenStudy (triciaal):

@DanJs wrote 5*5 but he meant 6*5 log D^6 = 6Log D = 6*5 follow the steps given
