Q. Given the substitutions ln2=a,ln3=b, and ln5=c, find the value of ln(50) in terms of a,b, and c.Answer:
Factorize 50: We need to express ln(50) using the given substitutions. We can start by expressing 50 as a product of its prime factors.50 can be written as 2×52.
Apply Logarithm Property: Now we can use the properties of logarithms to break down ln(50) into the sum of the logarithms of its prime factors.ln(50)=ln(2×52)
Use Power Rule: Using the logarithm property that ln(xy)=ln(x)+ln(y), we can separate the factors.ln(50)=ln(2)+ln(52)
Substitute Given Values: Next, we apply the power rule of logarithms, which states that ln(xy)=y⋅ln(x), to the term ln(52).ln(50)=ln(2)+2⋅ln(5)
Substitute Given Values: Next, we apply the power rule of logarithms, which states that ln(xy)=y⋅ln(x), to the term ln(52). ln(50)=ln(2)+2⋅ln(5) Now we substitute the given values for ln(2) and ln(5), which are a and c, respectively. ln(50)=a+2c
