Q. Find the numerical value of the log expression.loga=−5logb=8logc=3loga9b8c3Answer:
Apply Rules of Logarithms: Apply the quotient and power rules of logarithms to the expression.The quotient rule of logarithms states that log(NM)=log(M)−log(N), and the power rule states that log(Mn)=n⋅log(M).Using these rules, we can expand log(a9b8c3) as follows:log(a9b8c3)=log(c3)−log(a9b8)Now apply the power rule:log(c3)=3⋅log(c)log(a9)=9⋅log(a)log(b8)=8⋅log(b)So, log(a9b8c3)=3⋅log(c)−(9⋅log(a)+8⋅log(b))
Substitute Given Values: Substitute the given values of log(a), log(b), and log(c) into the expanded expression.Given:log(a)=−5log(b)=8log(c)=3Substitute these values into the expression:3⋅log(c)−(9⋅log(a)+8⋅log(b))=3⋅3−(9⋅(−5)+8⋅8)
Perform Arithmetic Operations: Perform the arithmetic operations.Calculate the numerical values:3⋅3−(9⋅(−5)+8⋅8)=9−(−45+64)9−(−45+64)=9−(−45+64)9−(−45+64)=9+45−649+45−64=54−6454−64=−10
