Simplify 5 log2 k –8 log2 m + 10 log2 n.
@Michele_Laino
here we can write this: \[\Large \begin{gathered} 5{\log _2}k = {\log _2}{k^5} \hfill \\ 8{\log _2}m = {\log _2}{m^8} \hfill \\ 10{\log _2}n = {\log _2}{n^{10}} \hfill \\ \end{gathered} \]
7 log2 kn/m right answer check
I think that it is not the right answer
no it's right check
sorry, if I apply the properties of logarithm, I get: \[\Large {\log _2}\left( {\frac{{{k^5}{n^{10}}}}{{{m^8}}}} \right)\]
are you sure
yes! since I have applied these properties: \[\Large \begin{gathered} {\log _2}a + {\log _2}b = {\log _2}\left( {ab} \right) \hfill \\ {\log _2}a - {\log _2}b = {\log _2}\left( {\frac{a}{b}} \right) \hfill \\ \end{gathered} \]
i see what you did there you can't combine 5 -8 +10 <--- wrong apply log properties
ok fine thank
Solve 2 log x = log 64.
is x+-8 check right
here we have to apply this property: \[2\log x = \log {x^2}\]
then x = 32 is right check
we can write: \[\log {x^2} = \log 64\]
and finally, using the uniqueness of logarithm, we can write: \[{x^2} = 64\] so what is x?
8
and -8?
±8
right or wrong
no, -8 it can not be a solution, since x has to be positive for the existence of the logarithm at left side of your equation
8 is answer
yes! it is the unique solution
yes good
