QuestionWrite the following using the log base change rule, and change to either log base 10 (write log) or log base e (write it as In) log2(7)\log _{2}(7)

Studdy Solution

STEP 1

1. We need to express log2(7)\log_{2}(7) using the change of base formula.
2. We can choose to convert it to either base 10 logarithm (log) or natural logarithm (ln).

STEP 2

1. Apply the change of base formula to log2(7)\log_{2}(7).
2. Express the result using either log base 10 or log base e.

STEP 3

Apply the change of base formula, which states:
logb(a)=logk(a)logk(b)\log_{b}(a) = \frac{\log_{k}(a)}{\log_{k}(b)}
where kk is the new base. Here, b=2b = 2 and a=7a = 7.

STEP 4

Choose to express log2(7)\log_{2}(7) using log base 10:
log2(7)=log(7)log(2)\log_{2}(7) = \frac{\log(7)}{\log(2)}

STEP 5

Alternatively, express log2(7)\log_{2}(7) using natural logarithm (ln):
log2(7)=ln(7)ln(2)\log_{2}(7) = \frac{\ln(7)}{\ln(2)}
The expression log2(7)\log_{2}(7) can be written as either log(7)log(2)\frac{\log(7)}{\log(2)} or ln(7)ln(2)\frac{\ln(7)}{\ln(2)}.
