Sagot :

Given:

[tex]x=\log_{10}31,500[/tex]

To find:

Select the true statements from the given options about the given value.

Solution:

We have,

[tex]x=\log_{10}31,500[/tex]

It can be written as

[tex]x=\log_{10}(2^23^25^37)[/tex]

[tex]x=\log_{10}(2^2)+\log_{10}(3^2)+\log_{10}(5^3)+\log_{10}(7)[/tex]     [tex][\because \log(ab)=\log a+\log b][/tex]

[tex]x=2\log_{10}2+2\log_{10}3+3\log_{10}5+\log_{10}(7)[/tex]

[tex]x=2\left(0.30105\right)+2\left(0.47712\right)+3\left(0.69897\right)+0.8451[/tex]

[tex]x=4.49835[/tex]

Clearly, the value of x lies between 4 and 5. So, [tex]x>4[/tex] and [tex]x<5[/tex].

Therefore, the correct options are C and D.

The true statements are: (c) x > 4 and (d). x < 5

The logarithmic expression is given as:

[tex]x = \log_{10}(31500)[/tex]

Express 31500 as a product of 100

[tex]x = \log_{10}(315 * 100)[/tex]

Apply the law of logarithm

[tex]x = \log_{10}(315) + \log_{10}(100)[/tex]

Evaluate log 100 base 10

[tex]x = \log_{10}(315) + 2[/tex]

Evaluate log 315 base 10

[tex]x = 2.50 + 2[/tex]

Add the expressions

[tex]x \approx 4.50[/tex]

4.5 is greater than 4 and less than 5

Hence, the true statements are: (c) x > 4 and (d). x < 5
