simplify log_{1/2}(sqrt(2))

Solution

simplify

lo g_{\frac{1}{2}} (2)

Solution

- \frac{1}{2}

+1

Decimal Notation

- 0.5

Solution steps

lo g_{\frac{1}{2}} (2)

Apply log rule:

lo g_{\frac{1}{a}} (x) = - lo g_{a} (x)

lo g_{\frac{1}{2}} (2) = - lo g_{2} (2)

= - lo g_{2} (2)

Apply radical rule:

a = a^{\frac{1}{2}}

2 = 2^{\frac{1}{2}}

= - lo g_{2} (2^{\frac{1}{2}})

Apply log rule:

lo g_{a} (a^{b}) = b

lo g_{2} (2^{\frac{1}{2}}) = \frac{1}{2}

= - \frac{1}{2}
