If 2 Log Y - Log X - 3 = 0, Express X in Terms of Y. - Mathematics

If 2 log y - log x - 3 = 0, express x in terms of y.

Sum

2log - logx - 3 = 0
⇒ logx = 2logy - 3
⇒ logx = logy²- 3log10 ...[∵ log10 = 1]
⇒ logx = logy²- log10³
⇒ logx = `"log"(y^2/1000)`
∴ x = `y^2/(1000)`.

If 3( log 5 - log 3 ) - ( log 5 - 2 log 6 ) = 2 - log x, find x.

If x = (100)^a , y = (10000)^b and z = (10)^c , find log`(10sqrty)/( x^2z^3)` in terms of a, b and c.

Simplify : log (a)³÷ log a

Express the following in terms of log 2 and log 3: log 216

Express the following as a single logarithm:

`2 "log" 3 - (1)/(2) "log" 16 + "log" 12`

Express the following as a single logarithm:

`2"log"(9)/(5) - 3"log"(3)/(5) + "log"(16)/(20)`

If log 16 = a, log 9 = b and log 5 = c, evaluate the following in terms of a, b, c: log 2.25

If log 2 = 0.3010, log 3 = 0.4771 and log 5 = 0.6990, find the values of: log540

If log 2 = x and log 3 = y, find the value of each of the following on terms of x and y: log60

If x² + y² = 6xy, prove that `"log"((x - y)/2) = (1)/(2)` (log x + log y)
