simplify log_{3}(1/4)

Solution

simplify

lo g_{3} (\frac{1}{4})

Solution

- 2 lo g_{3} (2)

+1

Solution steps

lo g_{3} (\frac{1}{4})

\frac{1}{4} = 4^{- 1}

= lo g_{3} (4^{- 1})

Apply log rule:

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

lo g_{3} (4^{- 1}) = - 1 \cdot lo g_{3} (4)

= - 1 \cdot lo g_{3} (4)

Apply rule:

1 \cdot a = a

= - lo g_{3} (4)

Factor the number:

4 = 2^{2}

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

Apply log rule:

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

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

= - 2 lo g_{3} (2)
