Math Problem Statement

Simplify the logarithmic expression 1/3 log 7 : log 27.

Solution

The image you provided contains an expression related to logarithms. Here's how it reads:

13log7:log27=\frac{1}{3} \log 7 : \log 27 = \dots

This appears to be asking to simplify or find a value based on a logarithmic relation.

Simplification Steps:

  1. Rewrite the logarithms: We have two logarithms: log7\log 7 and log27\log 27. There is a factor 13\frac{1}{3} in front of log7\log 7.

    13log7andlog27\frac{1}{3} \log 7 \quad \text{and} \quad \log 27

  2. Apply the properties of logarithms: Using the property of logarithms that states alogb=logbaa \log b = \log b^a, we can rewrite 13log7\frac{1}{3} \log 7 as:

    log713=log73\log 7^{\frac{1}{3}} = \log \sqrt[3]{7}

  3. Expression now becomes: log73:log27\log \sqrt[3]{7} : \log 27

  4. Simplify further: The colon ":" represents division, so this expression is equivalent to:

    log73log27\frac{\log \sqrt[3]{7}}{\log 27}

    This is the simplified form of the given logarithmic expression. Further evaluation would depend on whether you want to compute numerical values or leave it in this simplified form.
