document.write( "I think the problem can be set up to look like: logA = log 2x and logB = log 3x. So, log2x/log3x = 2x/3x. \n" );

I need to know what A and B are so that logA/logB = 2/3. \n" ); document.write( "---------- \n" ); document.write( "The \"change of base rule\" says logA/logB = log(baseB)A \n" ); document.write( "---------- \n" ); document.write( "So your equation becomes \n" ); document.write( "log(base B)A = 2/3 \n" ); document.write( "------------- \n" ); document.write( "Writing that in exponential form you get: \n" ); document.write( "A = B(2/3) \n" ); document.write( "------------ \n" ); document.write( "Therefore B = A(3/2) \n" ); document.write( "==================== \n" ); document.write( "Cheers, \n" ); document.write( "Stan H. \n" ); document.write( " |
