Math Problem Statement

Rewrite the expression 2log7 using the change of base formula.

Solution

The expression in the image is showing the change of base formula for logarithms. The given expression:

2log7^2\log 7

can be rewritten using the change of base formula as:

2log7=log7log2^2\log 7 = \frac{\log 7}{\log 2}

This formula allows you to express the logarithm of a number with a different base (in this case, base 2) in terms of natural logarithms (or logarithms to another base, often base 10). Specifically, it is the ratio of the logarithms of the argument (7) to the logarithm of the base (2).
