Answer:

  1. 3log(10) -2log(5) ≈ 1.60206
  2. no; rules of logs apply to any base. ln(x) ≈ 2.302585×log(x)
  3. no; the given "property" is nonsense

Explanation:

1.

The given expression expression can be simplified to ...

3log(10) -2log(5) = log(10^3) -log(5^2) = log(1000) -log(25)

= log(1000/25) = log(40) . . . . ≠ log(5)

≈ 1.60206

Or, it can be evaluated directly:

= 3(1) -2(0.69897) = 3 -1.39794

= 1.60206

2.

The properties of logarithms apply to logarithms of any base. Natural logs and common logs are related by the change of base formula ...

ln(x) = log(x)/log(e) ≈ 2.302585·log(x)

__

3.

The given "property" is nonsense. There is no simplification for the product of logs of the same base. There is no expansion for the log of a sum. The formula for the log of a power does apply:


\log(a)\log(b)=\log(a^(\log(b)))=\log(b^(\log(a)))

Numerical evaluation of Mr. Kim's expression would prove him wrong.

log(3)log(4) = (0.47712)(0.60206) = 0.28726

log(7) = 0.84510

0.28726 ≠ 0.84510

log(3)log(4) ≠ log(7)
