Q. 44. Use the Change of Base Formula to evaluate log592 \log _{5} 92 . Then convert log592 \log _{5} 92 to a logarithm in base 33. Round to the nearest thousandth.
  1. Apply Change of Base Formula: Use the Change of Base Formula: logb(a)=logc(a)logc(b)\log_b(a) = \frac{\log_c(a)}{\log_c(b)}. Here, a=92a = 92 and b=5b = 5. We'll use the common base of 1010. log592=log(92)log(5)\log_{5}92 = \frac{\log(92)}{\log(5)}.
  2. Calculate log values: Calculate log(92)\log(92) and log(5)\log(5) using a calculator.\newlinelog(92)1.9638\log(92) \approx 1.9638, log(5)0.6990\log(5) \approx 0.6990.
  3. Divide log values: Divide log(92)\log(92) by log(5)\log(5) to find log592\log_{5}92.\newlinelog5921.96380.69902.8104\log_{5}92 \approx \frac{1.9638}{0.6990} \approx 2.8104.
  4. Convert to base 33: Now convert log592\log_{5}92 to a logarithm in base 33 using the Change of Base Formula again.\newlinelog392=log592log53.\log_{3}92 = \frac{\log_{5}92}{\log_{5}3}.
  5. Calculate log53\log_{5}3: Calculate log53\log_{5}3 using a calculator.\newlinelog53=log(3)log(5)0.47710.69900.6826\log_{5}3 = \frac{\log(3)}{\log(5)} \approx \frac{0.4771}{0.6990} \approx 0.6826.
  6. Divide log values: Divide log592\log_{5}92 by log53\log_{5}3 to find log392\log_{3}92.\newlinelog3922.81040.68264.116\log_{3}92 \approx \frac{2.8104}{0.6826} \approx 4.116.
