Math Problem Statement

2log3 + 3log2

Solution

The expression shown in the image is:

2log3+3log22\log 3 + 3\log 2

This can be simplified by using the logarithm power rule, which states that alogb=logbaa \log b = \log b^a. Applying this rule:

2log3+3log2=log32+log23=log9+log82\log 3 + 3\log 2 = \log 3^2 + \log 2^3 = \log 9 + \log 8

Next, use the logarithm addition rule, which states that loga+logb=log(a×b)\log a + \log b = \log (a \times b):

log9+log8=log(9×8)=log72\log 9 + \log 8 = \log (9 \times 8) = \log 72

So, the simplified expression is:

log72\log 72

Here are five related questions:

  1. How would the expression change if the original problem was 2log3+3log42\log 3 + 3\log 4?
  2. What is the base of the logarithms used here, and how would it change the result if it were different?
  3. How can this result be verified using a calculator?
  4. What is the interpretation of log72\log 72 in terms of powers of 10?
  5. How would you solve 2logx+3logy2\log x + 3\log y in terms of xx and yy?

Tip: Remember that simplifying logarithmic expressions often involves applying the power and product rules of logarithms.
