Math Problem Statement

log((18000* 0.05/12)/600+1)/(12 log(1+0.05/12))

Solution

To simplify and evaluate the expression

log(18000×0.0512600+1)12log(1+0.0512)\frac{\log\left(\frac{18000 \times \frac{0.05}{12}}{600} + 1\right)}{12 \log\left(1 + \frac{0.05}{12}\right)}

let's break it down step by step.

Step 1: Calculate the numerator

First, calculate 18000×0.0512600+1\frac{18000 \times \frac{0.05}{12}}{600} + 1.

  1. Calculate 0.0512\frac{0.05}{12}: 0.05120.00416667\frac{0.05}{12} \approx 0.00416667
  2. Multiply by 18000: 18000×0.004166677518000 \times 0.00416667 \approx 75
  3. Divide by 600: 75600=0.125\frac{75}{600} = 0.125
  4. Add 1: 0.125+1=1.1250.125 + 1 = 1.125

So, the numerator becomes: log(1.125)\log(1.125)

Step 2: Calculate the denominator

Next, calculate 12log(1+0.0512)12 \log\left(1 + \frac{0.05}{12}\right).

  1. Calculate 1+0.05121 + \frac{0.05}{12}: 1+0.00416667=1.004166671 + 0.00416667 = 1.00416667
  2. Calculate log(1.00416667)\log(1.00416667): log(1.00416667)0.001803\log(1.00416667) \approx 0.001803
  3. Multiply by 12: 12×0.0018030.02163612 \times 0.001803 \approx 0.021636

Step 3: Combine results

Now, substitute back into the expression: log(1.125)0.021636\frac{\log(1.125)}{0.021636}

Calculate log(1.125)\log(1.125): log(1.125)0.053072\log(1.125) \approx 0.053072

Finally, divide: 0.0530720.0216362.45\frac{0.053072}{0.021636} \approx 2.45

Final Result

The value of the expression is approximately 2.452.45.
