Identify Base and Number: Identify the base of the logarithm and the number whose logarithm is to be found.In log764, 7 is the base and 64 is the number.We need to express 64 as a power of 7.
Express as Power of Base: Since 64 is not an integer power of 7, we need to find a way to express it as a power of 7. We can use the change of base formula for logarithms: logb(a)=logc(b)logc(a), where c is a new base we choose. Let's choose the natural logarithm (base e) for this purpose. So, log7(64)=ln(7)ln(64).
Use Change of Base Formula: Calculate the natural logarithms of 64 and 7 using a calculator.ln(64)≈4.15888ln(7)≈1.94591
Calculate Natural Logarithms: Divide the natural logarithm of 64 by the natural logarithm of 7 to find the value of log7(64).log7(64)≈1.945914.15888≈2.138Since we cannot express 64 as an exact power of 7, the result will be an approximation.
