Q. Select the answer which is equivalent to the given expression using your calculator.log4934323523225
Recognize Relationship: We need to evaluate the expression log49343. To do this, we can use the change of base formula for logarithms, which states that logab can be written as log(a)log(b), where log denotes the common logarithm. However, since we are dealing with specific numbers, we can look for a relationship between the base and the number.
Rewrite Using Properties: We recognize that 49 is a power of 7, specifically 72, and 343 is also a power of 7, specifically 73. This can be written as 49=72 and 343=73.
Apply Power Rule: Using the property of logarithms that logaak=k, we can rewrite log49343 as log72(73). According to the power rule of logarithms, which states that logabk=k⋅logab, we can simplify this expression.
Apply Power Rule: Using the property of logarithms that logaak=k, we can rewrite log(49)343 as log(72)(73). According to the power rule of logarithms, which states that logabk=k⋅logab, we can simplify this expression.Applying the power rule, we get log(72)(73)=23, because we are taking the logarithm of a cube (343 is 7 cubed) with respect to the square of the same base (49 is 7 squared).
