How would I go about solving a problem like this?

Given [tex]log_c 3 = 1.875[/tex] and [tex]log_c 2 = 1.214[/tex] evaluate [tex]log_c {\sqrt{12}[/tex]

What method would I have to use to solve a question like this?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
How about
[tex]\log_{c}\sqrt{12}=\log_{c}(12)^{\frac{1}{2}}=\frac{1}{2}\log_{c}12[/tex]

Take it from here.
Use the data & the properties of the "log" function.

Daniel.
 
courtigrad, following the previous advice dextericoby previously gave me... Your post was great, and your approach to the problem was fine. Don't delete your great posts! :smile:
 
[tex]log_c 2 \sqrt 3 = log_c 2 + log_c \sqrt 3[/tex]

you know what [tex]log_c 2[/tex] is

Thanks a lot for your kind words

NOTE: should be [tex]\sqrt 3[/tex] not [tex]\sqrt 2[/tex] for second part of addition. For some reason it will not let me change it.

Help with solving logarhythm problems
Start by setting it equal to itself:
[itex]logarhythm = logarhythm[/itex]

Take the antilog of both sides:
[itex]arhythm = arhythm[/itex]

Replace [itex]hy = i[/tex]:<br /> [itex]arithm = arithm[/itex]<br /> <br /> Take the log of both sides again and you're done: <br /> [itex]logarithm = logarithm[/itex] <br /> <br /> <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":-p" title="Stick Out Tongue :-p" data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":-p" /> <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f631.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":eek:" title="Eek! :eek:" data-smilie="9"data-shortname=":eek:" /> <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":biggrin:" title="Big Grin :biggrin:" data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":biggrin:" /> <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f644.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":rolleyes:" title="Roll Eyes :rolleyes:" data-smilie="11"data-shortname=":rolleyes:" /> <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f644.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":rolleyes:" title="Roll Eyes :rolleyes:" data-smilie="11"data-shortname=":rolleyes:" />[/itex]
