Capitolo 5, Problema 1
Use properties of logarithms to expand each logarithmic expression as much as possible. Where possible, evaluate logarithmic expressions without using a calculator. log5 (7 × 3)
Guida verificata passo dopo passo1
Recall the logarithmic property that states \( \log_b (MN) = \log_b M + \log_b N \). This means the logarithm of a product can be expressed as the sum of the logarithms.
Apply this property to the given expression \( \log_5 (7 \times 3) \). Rewrite it as \( \log_5 7 + \log_5 3 \).
Check if either \( \log_5 7 \) or \( \log_5 3 \) can be simplified further. Since 7 and 3 are not powers of 5, these logarithms cannot be simplified without a calculator.
Therefore, the expanded form of the expression is \( \log_5 7 + \log_5 3 \), which is the fully expanded form using properties of logarithms.
If needed, you can leave the answer in this expanded form or use a calculator to approximate the values, but the problem asks to expand without a calculator.

Ecco i concetti essenziali che devi comprendere per rispondere correttamente alla domanda.
Properties of Logarithms
Properties of logarithms include rules such as the product, quotient, and power rules. The product rule states that log_b(M × N) = log_b(M) + log_b(N), allowing the expansion of logarithmic expressions involving multiplication into sums of logs.
