Answer:
[tex]log_372 = 3.8928[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
[tex]log_38 = 1.8928[/tex]
Required
Evaluate [tex]log_372[/tex]
We have:
[tex]log_372 = log_3(8 *9)[/tex]
Apply law of logarithm
[tex]log_372 = log_38 +log_39[/tex]
Express 9 as 3^2
[tex]log_372 = log_38 +log_33^2[/tex]
Evaluate the exponents
[tex]log_372 = log_38 +2log_33[/tex]
[tex]log_33 = 1[/tex].
So:
[tex]log_372 = log_38 + 2 * 1[/tex]
[tex]log_372 = log_38 + 2[/tex]
Substitute [tex]log_38 = 1.8928[/tex]
[tex]log_372 = 1.8928 + 2[/tex]
[tex]log_372 = 3.8928[/tex]
