I'm doing this question from a past papers and I came across this log question. The question says write the following logarithmic expression as a single logarithm to base 10 and I have made numberous attempts trying to solve this equation. The question is shown below.
Thanks, Neamus
There is a mistake in there.
$9\log_2 x + 2\log_8 x = 9\frac {\log x}{\log 2} + 2\frac {\log x}{\log 8}\\ \log 8 = \log 2^3 = 3\log 2\\ 9\frac {\log x}{\log 2} + 2\frac {\log x}{3\log 2}\\ (9+ \frac 23)\frac {\log x}{\log 2}\\ $
Your worksheet is missing the $\log 2$ in the denominator.
And I hope that this sufficiently covers the missing step.
