Q. Find the numerical value of the log expression.loga=9logb=12logc=3log3b2a3c3Answer:
Rewrite with given logs: Use the given logarithmic values to rewrite the expression.We are given log(a)=9, log(b)=12, and log(c)=3. We need to evaluate log(3b2a3c3).
Simplify using properties: Apply the logarithmic properties to simplify the expression.The properties we will use are:1. log(xk)=k⋅log(x) for any real number k.2. log(yx)=log(x)−log(y) for any positive real numbers x and y.3. log(nx)=n1⋅log(x) for any positive real number x and positive integer n.
Apply property to a3 and c3: Apply the first property to the terms a3 and c3.log(a3)=3×log(a)=3×9=27log(c3)=3×log(c)=3×3=9
Apply property to 3b2: Apply the third property to the term 3b2.log(3b2)=31⋅log(b2)=31⋅2⋅log(b)=32⋅12=8
Combine logarithms: Apply the second property to combine the logarithms. log(3b2a3c3)=log(a3)+log(c3)−log(3b2)=27+9−8=36−8=28
