Math Problem Statement

What is the result of the expression: 2Log 16 - 3Log 27 + 5Log 1?

Solution

The expression shown in the image is:

2log163log27+5log1^2\log 16 - ^3\log 27 + ^5\log 1

Let's break this down:

  1. 2log16^2\log 16: This represents the logarithm of 16 with base 2. We know: 2log16=log216=4^2\log 16 = \log_2 16 = 4 because 24=162^4 = 16.

  2. 3log27^3\log 27: This represents the logarithm of 27 with base 3. We know: 3log27=log327=3^3\log 27 = \log_3 27 = 3 because 33=273^3 = 27.

  3. 5log1^5\log 1: The logarithm of 1 in any base is always 0: 5log1=log51=0^5\log 1 = \log_5 1 = 0

Now, let's put everything together: 43+0=14 - 3 + 0 = 1

The final result of the expression is 1.
