Q. 4. Use the Change of Base Formula to evaluate log592. Then convert log592 to a logarithm in base 3. Round to the nearest thousandth.
Apply Change of Base Formula: Use the Change of Base Formula: logb(a)=logc(b)logc(a). Here, a=92 and b=5. We'll use the common base of 10. log592=log(5)log(92).
Calculate log values: Calculate log(92) and log(5) using a calculator.log(92)≈1.9638, log(5)≈0.6990.
Divide log values: Divide log(92) by log(5) to find log592.log592≈0.69901.9638≈2.8104.
Convert to base 3: Now convert log592 to a logarithm in base 3 using the Change of Base Formula again.log392=log53log592.
Calculate log53: Calculate log53 using a calculator.log53=log(5)log(3)≈0.69900.4771≈0.6826.
Divide log values: Divide log592 by log53 to find log392.log392≈0.68262.8104≈4.116.
