Write Fourth Root: First, let's write the fourth root of 34.7 as 34.71/4.
Logarithm Property: Now, we'll use the property of logarithms that log(ba)=log(a)−log(b). So, we'll take the logarithm of both the numerator and the denominator.
Calculate Log of Numerator: Let's calculate the logarithm of the numerator: log(34.71/4). Using the power rule of logarithms, this is (1/4)⋅log(34.7).
Calculate Log of Denominator: Now, calculate the logarithm of the denominator: log(2.981).
Subtract Logs: Subtract the log of the denominator from the log of the numerator to find the log of the entire expression.(log(34.71/4))−log(2.981)=(41)log(34.7)−log(2.981).
Calculate Values: Now, we'll use a calculator to find the values of log(34.7) and log(2.981). Let's say log(34.7)≈1.540 and log(2.981)≈0.474.
Plug Values: Plug these values into our expression: (\frac{\(1\)}{\(4\)})\times \(1.540 - 0.474\.
Divide by 4: First, divide 1.540 by 4 to get 0.385.
Subtract Final Value: Now, subtract 0.474 from 0.385 to get the final value.0.385−0.474=−0.089.
