Prove that (Log A)2 - (Log B)2 = Log ( a B ) . Log ( Ab ) - Mathematics

Prove that (log a)² - (log b)² = `"log"("a"/"b")."log"("ab")`

Sum

L.H.S.
= (log a)² - (log b)²
= (log a + log b)(log a - log b) ...{using identity m² - n² = (m + n)(m - n)}
= `"log"("ab")"log"("a"/"b")`

= `"log"("a"/"b")."log"("ab")`
= R.H.S.

Exercise 10.2 | Q 36

If log_√27x = 2 `(2)/(3)` , find x.

Evaluate: log_ba × log_c b × log_a c.

Solve the following:
log 7 + log (3x - 2) = log (x + 3) + 1

If log x = a and log y = b, write down
10^a-1 in terms of x

Find x and y, if `("log"x)/("log"5) = ("log"36)/("log"6) = ("log"64)/("log"y)`

If 2 log x + 1 = log 360, find: x

If 2 log x + 1 = log 360, find: log(2 x -2)

If x + log 4 + 2 log 5 + 3 log 3 + 2 log 2 = log 108, find the value of x.

Express the following in a form free from logarithm:
m log x - n log y = 2 log 5

If `"a" = "log""p"^2/"qr", "b" = "log""q"^2/"rp", "c" = "log""r"^2/"pq"`, find the value of a + b + c.
