Approximate: log5 4/7–2.8760–0.34770.71241.3738
Question
Answer:
Answer:-0.34772Step-by-step explanation:One way of doing this problem is to change the base from 5 to 10.Use the change of base formula: log xlog x = ------------ 5 log 5so: log (4/7) log 4 - log 7log (4/7) = --------------- = --------------------- 5 log 5 log 5Note that "log x" above is the common logarithm of x and is to the base 10.Continuing, we get:0.60206 - 0.84510 -0.24304---------------------------- = --------------------- = -0.34772 (This corresponds to 0.69897 0.69897 the second given answer choice.)
