Math Problem Statement

2log(16) - 3log(1/27) + 5log(1)

Solution

The expression shown in the image is:

2log163log(127)+5log12 \log 16 - 3 \log \left( \frac{1}{27} \right) + 5 \log 1

Let's break this down and simplify it step by step.

  1. Simplify log16\log 16: log16=log(24)=4log2\log 16 = \log (2^4) = 4 \log 2 So, 2log16=2×4log2=8log22 \log 16 = 2 \times 4 \log 2 = 8 \log 2

  2. Simplify log(127)\log \left( \frac{1}{27} \right): log(127)=log(271)=log27\log \left( \frac{1}{27} \right) = \log (27^{-1}) = -\log 27 Since 27=3327 = 3^3, we can write: log27=log(33)=3log3\log 27 = \log (3^3) = 3 \log 3 So, log27=3log3-\log 27 = -3 \log 3 and 3log(127)=3×(3log3)=9log33 \log \left( \frac{1}{27} \right) = 3 \times (-3 \log 3) = -9 \log 3

  3. Simplify 5log15 \log 1: log1=0\log 1 = 0 Therefore, 5log1=5×0=05 \log 1 = 5 \times 0 = 0

Now, putting everything together: 8log29log3+08 \log 2 - 9 \log 3 + 0

This is the simplified form of the expression: 8log29log38 \log 2 - 9 \log 3
