2. Express the following logarithms in terms of ln 5 and ln 7.
d. ln 1225

Guida verificata passo dopo passo
1
Start by factoring the number inside the logarithm to express it in terms of its prime factors or known bases. For 1225, find its prime factorization.
Recognize that 1225 can be written as a product of powers of 5 and 7, since 1225 = 35^2 and 35 = 5 \(\times\) 7.
Rewrite the logarithm using the property of logarithms that states \( \ln(a^b) = b \ln(a) \). So, \( \ln(1225) = \ln(35^2) = 2 \ln(35) \).
Next, use the logarithm product rule \( \ln(ab) = \ln(a) + \ln(b) \) to express \( \ln(35) \) as \( \ln(5) + \ln(7) \).
Combine all the steps to express \( \ln(1225) \) entirely in terms of \( \ln(5) \) and \( \ln(7) \) as \( 2 (\ln(5) + \ln(7)) \).

Ecco i concetti essenziali che devi comprendere per rispondere correttamente alla domanda.

Properties of Logarithms

Logarithmic properties such as the product, quotient, and power rules allow us to break down complex logarithms into simpler parts. For example, ln(ab) = ln a + ln b and ln(a^n) = n ln a. These rules help express logarithms in terms of known values.
