Math Problem Statement

^3log54 - ^3log4 + ^3log6 = ...

Solution

The given expression is:

3log543log4+3log6^3\log54 - ^3\log4 + ^3\log6

Here, the notation "^3\log" refers to the logarithm with base 3.

Let's simplify this step by step using logarithmic properties:

Step 1: Use the logarithmic subtraction rule

For logarithms with the same base, subtraction can be expressed as a division: 3log543log4=3log(544)=3log13.5^3\log54 - ^3\log4 = ^3\log\left(\frac{54}{4}\right) = ^3\log13.5

Step 2: Use the logarithmic addition rule

For logarithms with the same base, addition can be expressed as multiplication: 3log13.5+3log6=3log(13.5×6)^3\log13.5 + ^3\log6 = ^3\log\left(13.5 \times 6\right) 3log(13.5×6)=3log81^3\log(13.5 \times 6) = ^3\log81

Step 3: Simplify the logarithmic value

Now, simplify 3log81^3\log81. Since 81=3481 = 3^4, the logarithm becomes: 3log81=3log(34)=4^3\log81 = ^3\log(3^4) = 4

Thus, the simplified form of the expression is: 44
