Question: *  6.5.24 / 6.5.18 / 7th edition 5.5.18. Exact value of log{base 3}{(8) * log{base 8}(9).

Confidence Assessment:

Given Solution:

* * log{base 3}(8) * log{base 8}(9) = log 8 / log 3 * log 9 / log 8 = log 9 / log 3 = log{base 3}(9).

 

log{base 3}(9) is the power to which 3 must be raised to get 9, and is therefore equal to 2.

 

Thus log{base 3}(8) * log{base 8}(9) = 2.

Confidence Assessment:

Given Solution:

* * Since ln(2) = a, and since ln(1) = 0, we have

 

ln(.5) = ln(1/2) = ln(1) - ln(2) = 0 - a = -a.
