Q. Rewrite the following in the form log(c).log(10)−log(2)
Identify properties of logarithms: Identify the properties of logarithms that can be used to simplify the expression log(10)−log(2).The difference of logarithms of two numbers equals the logarithm of their quotient.Quotient property: logb(P)−logb(Q)=logb(QP)
Apply quotient property: Apply the quotient property of logarithms to log(10)−log(2). log(10)−log(2)=log(210)
Calculate quotient: Calculate the quotient 10/2.10/2=5
Rewrite expression using result: Rewrite the expression using the result from Step 3. log(10)−log(2)=log(210)=log(5)
