Chapter 4 - Exponential and Logarithmic Functions - Exercise Set 4.2 - Page 468: 143

Answer

$\displaystyle \frac{4}{5}$

Work Step by Step

Basic Logarithmic Properties 1. $\log_{b}1=0$ 2. $\log_{b}b=1$ 3. $\log_{b}b^{x}=x$ 4. $b^{\log_{b}x}=x$ ---------------------- Term by term: $\log_{3}81=\log_{3}3^{4}=4\qquad $...(3) $\log_{\pi}1=0\qquad $...($1$) $2\sqrt{2}=\sqrt{2^{2}\cdot 2}=\sqrt{8}$ $8=(\sqrt{8})^{2}$, so $\log_{\sqrt{8}}(8)=\log_{(\sqrt{8})}(\sqrt{8})^{2}=2\qquad $...(3) $\log 0.001=\log 10^{-3}=-3\qquad $...(3) Problem expression$=\displaystyle \frac{4-0}{2-(-3)}=\frac{4}{5}$
