Math Problem Statement

log2 11-log2 9=log2 ?

Solution

To solve the expression log211log29\log_2 11 - \log_2 9, we can use the property of logarithms that states:

logablogac=loga(bc)\log_a b - \log_a c = \log_a \left(\frac{b}{c}\right)

Applying this property, we have:

log211log29=log2(119)\log_2 11 - \log_2 9 = \log_2 \left(\frac{11}{9}\right)

Thus, the answer is:

log2(119)\log_2 \left(\frac{11}{9}\right)
