Use the change of Base formula to evaluate log5 92 . then convert. Log5 92 to a logarithm in base 3. Round to the nearest thousandth.
change of base is
\(log_a(b)= \frac{log_c(b)}{log_c(a)}\)
change base to 3
\(log_5(92)= \frac{log_3(92)}{log_3(5)}\)
why would you want base 3? base 10 is on most calculators
anyway, the value would be 2.809555
Answer:
\(\log_5 92=2.809\)
\(\log_3 2.809=0.940\)
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : Expression \(\log_5 92\)
To find : Use the Change of Base Formula to evaluate the expression also convert the expression to a logarithm in base 3?
Solution :
Applying the change of Base Formula,
i.e. \(\log_b x=\frac{log_a x}{\log_a b}\)
We get,
\(\log_5 92=\frac{\log 92}{\log 5}\)
\(\log_5 92=\frac{1.963}{0.698}\)
\(\log_5 92=2.809\)
So, The expression is \(\log_5 92=2.809\)
Now, converting the expression to a logarithm in base 3.
Taking log base 3 in 2.809,
\(\log_3 2.809=\frac{log 2.809}{\log 3}\)
\(\log_3 2.809=\frac{0.448}{0.477}\)
\(\log_3 2.809=0.940\)
Therefore, The solution is \(\log_3 2.809=0.940\)
