Q. Which property of logarithms does this equation demonstrate? log33+log36=log318Choices:(A) Product Property(B) Power Property(C) Quotient Property
Analyze the equation: Analyze the given equation.We have the equation log33+log36=log318. We need to determine which logarithmic property this equation represents.
Recall logarithmic properties: Recall the properties of logarithms.There are three main properties of logarithms that are relevant to this problem: the Product Property, the Power Property, and the Quotient Property. The Product Property states that logb(P)+logb(Q)=logb(PQ), the Power Property states that n⋅logb(P)=logb(Pn), and the Quotient Property states that logb(P)−logb(Q)=logb(QP).
Match equation with property: Match the given equation with the correct property.The given equation is log33+log36=log318. This matches the form of the Product Property, which states that the sum of the logarithms is equal to the logarithm of the product of the bases: logb(P)+logb(Q)=logb(PQ).
Verify equation using property: Verify the equation using the Product Property.Using the Product Property, we can combine the logarithms on the left side of the equation: log3(3×6)=log318. Since 3×6 equals 18, the equation is correct and demonstrates the Product Property.
