Re: Logarithm Formulas

Can anyone explain Devante's post #7?  He says


This does not make sense to me, and seems to me to have exactly one value of x for which it is true.

Re: Logarithm Formulas

Hi random_fruit;

It could be a quiz problem and I agree it appears  to have only 1 solution in R.

In mathematics, you don't understand things. You just get used to them.
If it ain't broke, fix it until it is.
Always satisfy the Prime Directive of getting the right answer above all else.

Re: Logarithm Formulas

Hi Shekhar,
Here is the solution.
   ((2/3)^k)n = 1
⇒(2/3)^k = 1/n
⇒(2/3)^k = n-¹
Applying log on both sides.
⇒k log(2/3) = -log n
Multiplying (-) on both sides
⇒k log(2/3)-¹ = log n
⇒k log(3/2) = log n
∴ k = (log n)/(log (3/2))
⇒ k = log n base (3/2)
