Algebra.Com's Answer #97606 by stanbon(75887) ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! find the value of log3 base 2 multiplied by log4 base 3 multiplied by log5 base 4 multiplied by log6 base 5 multiplied by log7 base 6 multiplied by log8 base 7. the answer is 3 \n" ); document.write( "------------------------ \n" ); document.write( "Rule: log(base a) b = [log b]/[log a] \n" ); document.write( "------------------------ \n" ); document.write( "Your Problem: \n" ); document.write( "[log3/log2] \n" ); document.write( "You see that a bunch of the numerators cancel with a bunch of the denominators \n" ); document.write( "leaving you with log8/log2. \n" ); document.write( "---------------------------- \n" ); document.write( "This is true for any base, so let the base be \"2\". \n" ); document.write( "Then you get [log(base2) 8 / log(base 2) 2] = 3/1 = 3 \n" ); document.write( "============================ \n" ); document.write( "Cheers, \n" ); document.write( "Stan H. \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
