Answer:


\log_{(1)/(2)} 5=-2.32193

Explanation:

Given : Expression
\log_{(1)/(2)} 5

To find : The solution of the given expression ?

Solution :

We have given expression
\log_{(1)/(2)} 5

Applying logarithmic property,


\log_b a=(\log_e a)/(\log_e b)=(\ln a)/(\ln b)

Where,
\log _e is the natural logarithm indicated as
\ln


\log_{(1)/(2)} 5=\frac{\ln (5)}{\ln {(1)/(2)}}


\frac{\ln (5)}{\ln {(1)/(2)}}=(1.60943)/( -0.69315)


\frac{\ln (5)}{\ln {(1)/(2)}}=-2.32193

Therefore,
\log_{(1)/(2)} 5=-2.32193
