Question 253332: log(36)=a and log(125)=b. Find (1/12) in terms of a and b.
Answer by stanbon(75887) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
log(36)=a
10^a = 36
10^a = 6^2
10^(a/2) = 6
log(6) = a/2
-------------------
and log(125)=b.
10^b = 125
10^b = 5^3
10^(b/3) = 5
log(5) = b/3
---------
Find (1/12) in terms of a and b.
1/12 = 5/60 = 5/(6*10)
--------
log(1/12) = log(5/(6*10)) = log(5)-log(6)-log(10)
= (b/3) - (a/2) - 1
================================
