You can put this solution on YOUR website!
log%28b%2C+3%2F7%29=log%28b%2C3%29-log%28b%2C7%29
log%28b%2C3%2F7%29=3.6887-1.4873=2.2014

For additional help with LOGARITHMS, please see my OWN website by clicking on my tutor name "rapaljer" anywhere in algebra.com. Click on my website which is given there, and look on my Homepage for the link "Basic, Intermediate, and College Algebra: One Step at a Time." Select "College Algebra", and look in "Chapter 4" for a complete, detailed explanation, with examples, exercises, and ALL the answers, many of the exercises are solved IN COLOR on the "Math in Living Color" pages that go with these sections.

Also, I have a video that was made a few years ago in one of my classrooms, that can be viewed from my website FREE. To see the videos look on my Homepage for the link "Rapalje Videos in Living Color." Choose "College Algebra". Let me know if they help, or if you have questions--my Email address is at the bottom of each page of my website. Math is usually not as hard as it looks!!
