Math Problem Statement

Answer

Simplify the logarithmic expression: log(3/2) + log(4√2).

Solution

The image shows a mathematical expression involving logarithms. The expression reads:

log32+log42\log \frac{3}{2} + \log 4 \sqrt{2}

Step-by-step solution:

1. Apply the logarithmic product rule:

The logarithmic product rule states: log(a)+log(b)=log(ab)\log(a) + \log(b) = \log(a \cdot b) Apply this rule to the given expression: log32+log42=log(3242)\log \frac{3}{2} + \log 4\sqrt{2} = \log \left( \frac{3}{2} \cdot 4\sqrt{2} \right)

2. Simplify the product inside the logarithm:

3242=3422=232=62\frac{3}{2} \cdot 4\sqrt{2} = \frac{3 \cdot 4\sqrt{2}}{2} = 2 \cdot 3\sqrt{2} = 6\sqrt{2}

Thus, the expression becomes: log(62)\log(6\sqrt{2})

Final Answer:

log(62)\log(6\sqrt{2})
