To solve this problem, we will simplify the expression .
Step 1: Apply the inverse log property.
The property states that these logs are multiplicative inverses.
Thus, , meaning .
Step 2: Substitute with in the original fraction.
Given the expression is , it becomes:
.
Step 3: Simplify the expression.
The multiplication results in the cancelling of the logarithmic terms through the multiplicative inverse relationship.
Therefore, the solution to the problem is .
\( \log_{10}3+\log_{10}4= \)
This is the change of base property in action! When you have and , they are multiplicative inverses because the bases and arguments are swapped.
Look for two logarithms where the base of one equals the argument of the other. Like and - notice how 8 and 9 are swapped!
The stays unchanged! When the logarithmic terms cancel out (because they equal 1), you're left with just .
Absolutely! Calculate and separately, then multiply them. You should get very close to 1 (accounting for rounding errors).
Yes! The property works for any positive bases (not equal to 1) and positive arguments. Try !
