Use Log(b)2 = 0.401, log(b)3 =0.503, and log(b)5 = 0.842 to approximate the value of the given logarithm to decimal places log(b)50 . Assume that b>0 and
b\\eq 1

Use Log(b)2 = 0.401, log(b)3 =0.503, and log(b)5 = 0.842 to approximate the value-example-1

Answer:

  • ≈ 2.085

-------------------------

Given


  • log_b2 = 0.401, \ log_b3=0.503, \ log_b5=0.842

Work out the value of
log_b50


  • log_b50=

  • log_b(2*25)=

  • log_b(2*5^2)=

  • log_b2+log_b5^2=

  • log_b2+2log_b5=

  • 0.401 + 2*(0.842)=

  • 2.085
