Solution

simplify

lo g_{\frac{1}{3}} (8)

Solution

- 3 lo g_{3} (2)

+1

Decimal Notation

- 1.89278 \dots

Solution steps

lo g_{\frac{1}{3}} (8)

Apply log rule:

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

lo g_{\frac{1}{3}} (8) = - lo g_{3} (8)

= - lo g_{3} (8)

Factor the number:

8 = 2^{3}

= - lo g_{3} (2^{3})

Apply log rule:

lo g_{a} (x^{b}) = b \cdot lo g_{a} (x), x > 0

lo g_{3} (2^{3}) = 3 lo g_{3} (2)

= - 3 lo g_{3} (2)
