Question

if log 2 = ( 0.3010 ), Log 3 = ( 0.4771 ) and Log 5 = ( 0.6990 ) then find the value of the following: Log 24... The answer is ( 1.3801 ) I have it from Book, please Just Prove it How!!!

Answer 1

Answer: 1. 3801

Step-by-step explanation:

Log 24 = Log(8x3)

From the laws of Logarithm

Log ( a xb) = Log a + Log b

so, Log (8x3) = Log8 + Log 3

Also Log 8 can be written as Log$2^{3}$ since $2^{3}$ is still 8 , so the expression becomes

Log$2^{3}$ + Log 3

⇒ 3 Log 2 + Log 3

since the value of Log 2 and Log 3 has been given , substitute into the expression , we have

3 (0.3010) + 0.4771

= 0.903 + 0.4771

= 1.3801
