Math Problem Statement

Simplify the expression ^3log√8 + 2 * ^3log 5 - ^3log 75 + ^3log 18 - ^3log 8.

Solution

Let's solve the logarithmic expression given in the image:

3log83+23log53log75+3log183log8^3\log \sqrt[3]{8} + 2 \cdot ^3\log 5 - ^3\log 75 + ^3\log 18 - ^3\log 8

Step 1: Simplify each logarithmic term.

  1. 3log83=3log2^3\log \sqrt[3]{8} = ^3\log 2

    Explanation: 83=2\sqrt[3]{8} = 2 because 23=82^3 = 8.

  2. 23log52 \cdot ^3\log 5 is already in its simplest form.

  3. 3log75^3\log 75 can be broken down using the properties of logarithms:

    3log75=3log(3×25)=3log3+3log25=3log3+23log5^3\log 75 = ^3\log(3 \times 25) = ^3\log 3 + ^3\log 25 = ^3\log 3 + 2 \cdot ^3\log 5

  4. 3log18^3\log 18 can be simplified as:

    3log18=3log(2×9)=3log2+23log3^3\log 18 = ^3\log(2 \times 9) = ^3\log 2 + 2 \cdot ^3\log 3

  5. 3log8^3\log 8 simplifies to:

    3log8=3log23=33log2^3\log 8 = ^3\log 2^3 = 3 \cdot ^3\log 2

Step 2: Substitute and combine like terms.

Substitute all the simplified terms back into the original expression:

3log2+23log5(3log3+23log5)+(3log2+23log3)33log2^3\log 2 + 2 \cdot ^3\log 5 - (^3\log 3 + 2 \cdot ^3\log 5) + (^3\log 2 + 2 \cdot ^3\log 3) - 3 \cdot ^3\log 2

Combine like terms:

(3log2+3log233log2)+(23log523log5)+(3log3+23log33log3)(^3\log 2 + ^3\log 2 - 3 \cdot ^3\log 2) + (2 \cdot ^3\log 5 - 2 \cdot ^3\log 5) + (^3\log 3 + 2 \cdot ^3\log 3 - ^3\log 3)

This simplifies to:

(0)+(0)+(3log3)(0) + (0) + (^3\log 3)

Thus, the expression simplifies to:

3log3^3\log 3

The final answer is 3log3^3\log 3.
