Question

Suppose you are told that log(2)=0.3562 and log(3)=0.5646. All of them with the base of 'a'. Find:
i) log(6)
ii) log(9)

Solutions

i) log(6)= log (3)(2)
         = log 3 + log 2
         = 0.5646 + 0.3562
         = 0.9208

ii)log(9)= log 3^2
         = 2 log 3
         = 2 (0.5646)
         = 1.1292

Reiny · Answer

you are correct. An interesting question now would be ... what is the value of 'a' ?
