This question should be easy to most people here and need some help on this question.

3log25 - log34 + log2(log39)

My answer to this question is:
= 3log25 - log34 + log2(log9/log3)
= log2125 - log34 + log22
= log2125 - log34 + 1
= (log125 / log2) - (log4 / log3) + 1
= 6.703924778

However the correct answer give is 6.335, which means my answer is wrong. Can somebody tell me what's wrong with my answer and what should I do to get the correct answer? :frown:

Thanks :)

These steps you have made do not make any sense:

[tex]\log_2 \log_2 9 \Rightarrow \log_2 \left( \frac{\log 9}{\log 3} \right) \Rightarrow \log_2 2[/tex]

opps...sorry. i had a typo in my post. edited it

it should be:
[tex]\log_2 \log_3 9 \Rightarrow \log_2 \left( \frac{\log 9}{\log 3} \right) \Rightarrow \log_2 2[/tex]

but i still cannot solve this equation. :(

Well in that case your reduction of the logs is perfectly correct and your approximation to the number in decimal places is also correct. The number is about:

6.7039247775191721694119040597826488189953228988...
 

FAQ: Solve 3log25 - log34 + log2(log39): 6.335

What is the equation "3log25 - log34 + log2(log39) = 6.335" trying to solve?

The equation is trying to solve for the value of x in the expression log2(x) = 6.335.

How do you simplify "3log25 - log34 + log2(log39) = 6.335"?

To simplify the equation, you need to use the properties of logarithms. First, you can use the product rule to combine the logarithms: log25^3 - log34 + log2(log39) = 6.335. Then, you can use the power rule to simplify the first term: log2(15625) - log34 + log2(log39) = 6.335. Finally, you can use the quotient rule to combine the remaining logarithms: log2(15625/34) + log2(log39) = 6.335. This can be further simplified to log2(15625/34 * log39) = 6.335.

How can you solve "3log25 - log34 + log2(log39) = 6.335" for x?

To solve for x, you can use the definition of logarithms. In this case, you can rewrite the equation as 2^6.335 = 15625/34 * log39. Then, you can divide both sides by 15625/34 and solve for log39. Finally, you can use the inverse function of log2, which is 2^x, to find the value of x.

What is the value of "3log25 - log34 + log2(log39) = 6.335"?

The value of the equation is approximately 10.8.

How does "3log25 - log34 + log2(log39) = 6.335" relate to logarithmic functions?

This equation is an example of using logarithmic functions to solve for an unknown variable. It demonstrates the properties of logarithms, such as the product, power, and quotient rules, and how they can be used to simplify equations involving logarithmic functions.
