Let x and b be positive real numbers so that log_b(x^2) = 10. Find log_3sqrtb (1/x)

Sagot :

The value of the logarithm log₃ (x⁻¹)[tex]^{1/b}[/tex]  where x and b positive real numbers is - 5 · b⁻¹ · log₃ b.

How to analyze and solve logarithmic expressions

Logarithms are trascendental functions, that is, functions that cannot be described algebraically.

In this question we must apply logarithm and algebraic properties to determine firstly the value of [tex]x[/tex] and later to find value of the latter logarithm. Now we proceed to find the value of [tex]x[/tex]:

[tex]\log_{b} x^{2} = 10[/tex]

[tex]2\cdot \log_{b} x = 10[/tex]

[tex]\log_{b} x = 5[/tex]

x = b⁵

Then, the value of the latter logarithm is:

log₃ (x⁻¹)[tex]^{1/b}[/tex]  

- b⁻¹ · log₃ x

- b⁻¹ · log₃ b⁵

- 5 · b⁻¹ · log₃ b

The value of the logarithm log₃ (x⁻¹)[tex]^{1/b}[/tex]  where x and b positive real numbers is - 5 · b⁻¹ · log₃ b. [tex]\blacksquare[/tex]

Remark

The statement is poorly formated, correct form is described below:

Let [tex]x[/tex] and [tex]b[/tex] be positive real numbers so that [tex]\log_{b} x^{2} = 10[/tex]. Find [tex]\log_{3} \sqrt [b]{\frac{1}{x} }[/tex].
