Q. Given the substitutions ln2=a,ln3=b, and ln5=c, find the value of ln(200) in terms of a,b, and c.Answer:
Factor and Expand: Express ln(200) in terms of ln(2), ln(3), and ln(5). We can factor 200 as 23×52. Therefore, ln(200) can be written as ln(23×52). Using the properties of logarithms, we can expand this as ln(23)+ln(52).
Apply Power Rule: Apply the power rule of logarithms to simplify ln(23) and ln(52). The power rule states that ln(xn)=n⋅ln(x). Therefore, ln(23) becomes 3⋅ln(2) and ln(52) becomes 2⋅ln(5).
Substitute Values: Substitute the given values for ln(2) and ln(5). We know that ln(2)=a and ln(5)=c. So, we replace ln(2) with a and ln(5) with c in our equation. This gives us 3×a+2×c.
Final Expression: Write the final expression for ln(200) in terms of a, b, and c.Since there is no ln(3) in our expression, b does not appear in the final answer.The final expression for ln(200) is 3×a+2×c.
