log(2)6•log(6)8

Nnesha (nnesha):

is i log(6)2 •log(6)8 base 6 ??

OpenStudy (carolinar7):

No the first one is base two in the second one is base six

Nnesha (nnesha):

\[\huge\rm log_2 6 \times \log_6 8\] like this

OpenStudy (carolinar7):

*and

OpenStudy (carolinar7):

Yes you got it

OpenStudy (carolinar7):

How do you solve it

@Michele_Laino

Nnesha (nnesha):

alright familiar the the change of base formula ?

Nnesha (nnesha):

hey ??

Nnesha (nnesha):

huh anywys i have to go chage of base formula \[\huge\rm \log_\color{ReD}{b} \color{blue}{a} =\frac{ \log \color{blue }{a} }{ log\color{ReD}{ b} }\] write both log in fraction ^by using change of base formula

Nnesha (nnesha):

then rewrite 8 in terms of base 2

Nnesha (nnesha):

make sense ?? @carolinar7

Nnesha (nnesha):

i'll do the log(6)8 \[\huge\rm \log_\color{ReD}{6} \color{blue}{8} =\frac{ \log \color{blue }{8} }{ log\color{ReD}{ 6} }\] rewrite 8 in terms of base 2 2 times 2 times 2 = 8 you can write it as 2^3 \[\large\rm \log_\color{ReD}{6} \color{blue}{8} =\frac{ \log \color{blue }{2^3} }{ log\color{ReD}{ 6} }\] apply the power rule power rule \[\large\rm log_b x^y = y \log_b x\] write log(2) 6 in fraction by using change of base formula. that's it
