Algebra.Com's Answer #47743 by venugopalramana(3286)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! If a,b,c are distinct positive numbers each different from 1 such that {(log a to the base b)(log a to the base c) – log a to the base a} + {(log b to the base a)(log b to the base c) – log b to the b} + {(log c to the base a)(log c to the base b) – log c to the base c} = 0 , then prove that abc = 1 \n" ); document.write( "USE FORMULA LOG(X) TO BASE Y = LOG(X)/LOG(Y) TO A COMMON BASE \n" ); document.write( "[LOG(A)/LOG(B)][LOG(A)/LOG(C)]-[LOG(A)/LOG(A)]+[LOG(B)/LOG(A)][LOG(B)/LOG(C)] \n" ); document.write( "-[LOG(B)/LOG(B)]+[LOG(C)/LOG(A)][LOG(C)/LOG(B)]-[LOG(C)/LOG(C)]=0\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "[LOG(A)/LOG(B)][LOG(A)/LOG(C)]+[LOG(B)/LOG(A)][LOG(B)/LOG(C)]+[LOG(C)/LOG(A)][LOG(C)/LOG(B)] \n" ); document.write( "=1+1+1=3 \r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "MULTIPLY WITH LOG(A)LOG(B)LOG(C)..THROUGH OUT \n" ); document.write( "LOG^3(A)+LOG^3(B)+LOG^3(C)=3LOG(A)LOG(B)LOG(C) \n" ); document.write( "THE PROBLEM IS NOT TYPED PROPERLY..IT SHOULD BE \n" ); document.write( "{(log a to the base b)(log a to the base c)/[log a*LOGa]...ETC...I THINK \n" ); document.write( "THEN YOU WILL GET \n" ); document.write( "LOG(A)+LOG(B)+LOG(C)=0 \n" ); document.write( "LOG(ABC)=LOG(1) \n" ); document.write( "ABC=1 \n" ); document.write( " |
