Problema 130

Capitolo 5, Problema 130

If log 3 = A and log 7 = B, find log7 (9) in terms of A and B.

Guida verificata passo dopo passo

Recall the change of base formula for logarithms:

\log a_{b} = \frac{\log}{c} \frac{\log}{c}

, which means

\log a_{b} = \frac{\log}{c} \frac{\log}{c}

for any positive base

c

not equal to 1.

Apply the change of base formula to

\log 7_{9}

, choosing base 10 (common logarithm) for convenience:

\log 7_{9} = \frac{\log}{10} \frac{\log}{10}

Express

\log 9

in terms of

\log 3

using the property

\log a^n = n \log a

. Since

9 = 3^2

, we have

\log 9 = 2 \log 3

Substitute the given values:

\log 3 = A

and

\log 7 = B

into the expression from step 2 and 3, so that

\log 7_{9} = 2A B

Write the final expression for

\log 7_{9}

in terms of A and B as

\log 7_{9} = 2A B

Concetti chiave

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

Change of Base Formula

The change of base formula allows you to rewrite logarithms with any base in terms of logarithms with a different base, typically base 10 or e. It states that log_b(x) = log_c(x) / log_c(b), which is essential for expressing log base 7 of 9 in terms of log base 10 values A and B.

Properties of Logarithms

Logarithmic properties such as log(xy) = log x + log y and log(x^n) = n log x help simplify expressions. Recognizing that 9 = 3^2 allows rewriting log_7(9) as log_7(3^2) = 2 log_7(3), facilitating the use of given values A and B.

Expressing Logarithms in Terms of Given Variables

Given log 3 = A and log 7 = B, these represent logarithms with a common base (usually 10). Using the change of base formula, log_7(3) can be expressed as log(3)/log(7) = A/B, enabling the expression of log_7(9) in terms of A and B.
