Type I -- Logarithm Bases

Recommended Posts

So I don't understand the last part of a type 1 Math SL IA. It says:

Let logaX=c and logbX=d. Find the general statement that expresses logabX, in terms of c and d (a and b in the logs are both supposed to be subscript).

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Use a change of base formula. My teacher gave us a hint, LogabX = logX/Logab = logX/loga+logb

Assumptions: ac = bd = x

I don't know how to elaborate more without violating the answer rule thing, but yea. Hope this helps.
