Final answer:
The property that applies in this question is log(ab) = log(a) + log(b). By using this property, we can manipulate the equation and prove that it is true.
Step-by-step explanation:
The property of logarithms that applies in this question is:
log(ab) = log(a) + log(b)
Using this property, we can manipulate the equation:
log(2 * 3) = 3 * log(2) + 2 * log(3)
Breaking it down further:
- log(2 * 3) = log(6)
- 3 * log(2) = log(2) + log(2) + log(2) = log(2^3)
- 2 * log(3) = log(3) + log(3) = log(3^2)
Thus, the equation becomes:
log(6) = log(2^3) + log(3^2)
And since both sides have the same base (10 in this case), we can conclude that the equation is true.
