Since you are new here, read this legendary tutorial for new OpenStudiers!! http://goo.gl/5pp1u0 @sallyfield888 Do you know the Change of Base formula for logarithms?

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

And is your question \(\sf\Large log_{4}14\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes that is the question

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what is the Change of Base formula for logarithms?

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

\(\sf\Large Log_{a}x\) can be written as \(\sf\LARGE\frac{log_{b}x}{log_{b}a}\) where \(\sf a\neq1\) and where \(\sf b\neq1\) and \(\sf x>0\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok so what do i do next? can u walk me through the steps?

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

You need to make b = 3 and then just plug in the numbers you were given.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so it would be log3 14/log3 4 ? check

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

Correct.

OpenStudy (amorfide):

can I ask how you derive that rule? I have never seen that rule in my life, kind of interested

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Write log6 5 as a logarithm of base 4.

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

@amorfide I don't know how you would derive that rule, but I was taught that rule in school when I learned the loagarithm chapter. Here is a little more over it: http://www.purplemath.com/modules/logrules5.htm http://www.sosmath.com/algebra/logs/log4/log43/log43.html

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Write log6 5 as a logarithm of base 4. check is answer: log5 4/log6 4

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

\(\color{blue}{\text{Originally Posted by}}\) @TheSmartOne \(\sf\Large Log_{a}x\) can be written as \(\sf\LARGE\frac{log_{b}x}{log_{b}a}\) where \(\sf a\neq1\) and where \(\sf b\neq1\) and \(\sf x>0\) \(\color{blue}{\text{End of Quote}}\) Follow this, so no your answer is wrong.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

log4 6/log4 5 is the answer check its right

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

Nope. Look at it carefully. Remember, your question is \(\sf\Large log_{6}5\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

log4 5/log4 6 it has be log4 right

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

Now you have gotten it correct :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

good i knew Solve log11 (y + 8) + log11 4 = log11 60.
