1. Express the following logarithms in terms of ln 2 and ln 3.
b. ln(4/9)

검증된 단계별 안내
1
Recall the logarithm property that allows you to express the logarithm of a quotient as the difference of logarithms: \(\ln\left(\frac{a}{b}\right) = \ln a - \ln b\).
Apply this property to the given expression: \(\ln\left(\frac{4}{9}\right) = \ln 4 - \ln 9\).
Express 4 and 9 in terms of their prime factors: \(4 = 2^2\) and \(9 = 3^2\).
Use the logarithm power rule, which states \(\ln(a^b) = b \ln a\), to rewrite \(\ln 4\) and \(\ln 9\) as \(2 \ln 2\) and \(2 \ln 3\) respectively.
Combine these results to express the original logarithm entirely in terms of \(\ln 2\) and \(\ln 3\): \(\ln\left(\frac{4}{9}\right) = 2 \ln 2 - 2 \ln 3\).

Properties of Logarithms

Logarithms have key properties such as the product, quotient, and power rules. The quotient rule states that ln(a/b) = ln(a) - ln(b), allowing the expression of logarithms of fractions as differences of logarithms.

Expressing Numbers as Powers or Products

To rewrite logarithms in terms of ln 2 and ln 3, numbers like 4 and 9 should be expressed as powers or products of 2 and 3, e.g., 4 = 2^2 and 9 = 3^2, enabling the use of the power rule for logarithms.
