Math Problem Statement

Which of the following is equivalent to log 216? Option #1: 3 log 6, Option #2: log 6 · log 6 · log 6, Option #3: 36 log 6.

Solution

Let's break down the problem in the image and find which option is equivalent to log216\log 216.

We can start by simplifying log216\log 216. Notice that 216 can be factored as: 216=63216 = 6^3 Thus, we can use the logarithmic property: logab=bloga\log a^b = b \log a Applying this to log216\log 216: log216=log(63)=3log6\log 216 = \log (6^3) = 3 \log 6 This means the expression that is equivalent to log216\log 216 is 3log63 \log 6.

Answer:

Option #1: 3log63 \log 6 is equivalent to log216\log 216.

  1. What are the key logarithmic properties used in simplifying logarithmic expressions?
  2. How can you expand or condense a logarithmic expression involving products or powers?
  3. Can you simplify log(23)\log(2 \cdot 3) using logarithmic rules?
  4. What is the logarithmic equivalent of a cube root, such as log83\log \sqrt[3]{8}?
  5. How would you approach solving logb(x2)=5\log_b (x^2) = 5?

Tip: Remember that one of the most important logarithmic properties is the power rule: logb(xn)=nlogbx\log_b (x^n) = n \log_b x. It can simplify many expressions quickly!
