document.write( "If log_a(x)=2, log_a(y)=4, and log_a(z)=6, what is the value of log_a((y^2)/((x^2)√(z)) \r
\n" );
document.write( "\n" );
document.write( "The listed answers are -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, and 3. Now I know that 'a' is unknown. So I assume that I need to use one of the properties to get an answer like log_a1=0, log_aa=1, etc. Using these I was only able to get it to 3log_a(2/6). Any help will be appreciated. \n" );

Algebra.Com's Answer #643812 by Natolino1983(23)![]() ![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! We will use this 3 properties 1)log_a (x×y) = log_a(x) + log_a (y) \n" ); document.write( " 2)log_a (x/y) = log_a (x) - log_a(y) \n" ); document.write( " 3)log_a(x^y) = y×log_a(x)\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Therefore log_a ((y^2/(x^2×sqrt(z)) = log_a(y^2) - (log_a(x^2×sqrt(z)) (p.2) \n" ); document.write( " = log_a(y^2) - (log_a(x^2) +log_a(sqrt(z)) (p.1) \n" ); document.write( " =2×log_a(y) -(2×log_a(x) +log_a(z)/2) (p.3) \n" ); document.write( " Replacing: 2×4 - (2×2 +6/2) =8 - 7 = 1\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "(Obs: sqrt(z) =z^(1/2) ) \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
