Math Problem Statement

Log base 75(6 )is equal to a log base 105 ( 36) is equal to b log base 6(7 by 5) is equal to c then the relation between a,b,c is

Solution

We are given the following logarithmic expressions:

  1. log75(6)=a\log_{75}(6) = a
  2. log105(36)=b\log_{105}(36) = b
  3. log6(75)=c\log_{6}\left(\frac{7}{5}\right) = c

We want to determine the relationship between aa, bb, and cc.

Step 1: Express the logarithms in terms of natural logarithms

Using the change of base formula, we can convert these logarithms to a common base, typically the natural logarithm ln\ln:

a=ln(6)ln(75)a = \frac{\ln(6)}{\ln(75)} b=ln(36)ln(105)b = \frac{\ln(36)}{\ln(105)} c=ln(75)ln(6)c = \frac{\ln\left(\frac{7}{5}\right)}{\ln(6)}

Step 2: Simplify bb and cc

  • We can simplify ln(36)\ln(36) as ln(36)=ln(62)=2ln(6)\ln(36) = \ln(6^2) = 2\ln(6), so: b=2ln(6)ln(105)b = \frac{2 \ln(6)}{\ln(105)}
  • Similarly, for cc, we can use the property of logarithms that ln(75)=ln(7)ln(5)\ln\left(\frac{7}{5}\right) = \ln(7) - \ln(5), so: c=ln(7)ln(5)ln(6)c = \frac{\ln(7) - \ln(5)}{\ln(6)}

Step 3: Analyze the relationships

Now, we have the following expressions for aa, bb, and cc:

a=ln(6)ln(75)a = \frac{\ln(6)}{\ln(75)} b=2ln(6)ln(105)b = \frac{2 \ln(6)}{\ln(105)} c=ln(7)ln(5)ln(6)c = \frac{\ln(7) - \ln(5)}{\ln(6)}

To relate these values, notice that both aa and bb are proportional to ln(6)\ln(6), while cc is expressed in terms of ln(7)\ln(7), ln(5)\ln(5), and ln(6)\ln(6). We can deduce the relationship by comparing these proportionalities and solving the equations accordingly.
