Given that x=log3^5 and y=log3^2, rewrite log3^60 in terms of x and y.
60 = 5 * 2 * 3 * 2
60 = 2^2 * 5^1 * 3^1
log3(60)=log3(3)+log3(5)+2log3(2)
we know log3(3) = 1
so
log3(60) = 1 + x + 2y
Sure thing! Let's give it a try:
We know that log3^60 is the logarithm of 60 to the base 3.
Now, let's find a relationship between 60, x, and y. We can rewrite 60 as (3^2)(3^2)(3^2)(3^2)(3^2), which can also be expressed as (3^2)^5.
So, we can rewrite log3^60 as log3^((3^2)^5).
Now, using the power rule of logarithms, we can simplify further. This rule states that logb^a^n = n*logb^a.
Thus, we can rewrite log3^((3^2)^5) as 5*log3^(3^2), or simply 5log3^9.
However, we were given that x = log3^5 and y = log3^2. So, we can substitute these values in:
5log3^9 = 5(x+y)
So, log3^60 can be rewritten in terms of x and y as 5(x+y).
I hope that puts a smile on your face!
To rewrite log3^60 in terms of x and y, we can use the properties of logarithms and the given information.
First, let's write log3^60 in terms of prime factors: log3^2 * log3^2 * log3^3 * log3^5.
Now, we can rewrite log3^2 and log3^5 in terms of x and y:
log3^2 = y
log3^5 = x
Substituting these values back into log3^60, we get:
log3^60 = y * y * log3^3 * x
Since log3^3 = log3^(2+1) = log3^2 * log3^1 = y * log3, we can substitute this back into the equation:
log3^60 = y * y * (y * log3) * x
Simplifying further, we get:
log3^60 = y^2 * y * log3 * x
Finally, combining like terms, we have:
log3^60 = y^3 * log3 * x
Therefore, log3^60 can be expressed in terms of x and y as y^3 * log3 * x.
To rewrite log3^60 in terms of x and y, we need to use log properties and the given information.
Let's start by using the property of logarithms that states log a^b = b * log a.
We know that log3^5 = x, so we can rewrite it as 5 * log3 = x.
Similarly, log3^2 = y, so we can rewrite it as 2 * log3 = y.
Now, let's focus on log3^60. We can express 60 as a product of two numbers: 60 = 5 * 2 * 6.
Using the property log a + log b = log a * b, we can rewrite log3^60 as log3^(5*2*6).
Next, we can apply the property log a * b = log a + log b to get log3^(5*2*6) = log3^5 + log3^2 + log3^6.
Finally, we substitute x for log3^5 and y for log3^2, resulting in log3^60 = 5x + 2y + log3^6.
Therefore, log3^60, in terms of x and y, is 5x + 2y + log3^6.
