Quick Math Queation

If log a 2 = x and log a 3 = y, then log a 24 in terms of x and y is?

The a's are subscripted but for some reason Chrome wont let me.

im in grade 10 and i've never used the los button

I need help. Anyone?

Mods i figured it out let this thread die.

log a 2^3 = 3x

log a 3 = y

log a 24 = 3x+7

I'm sorry. Why are you doing math problems in the middle of summer?

here's the answer:
look the teacher dead in the eye and ask when you will EVER need to know this outside of school.

Their is a bit of ignorance in your post.

 

[TechnoPotamus]

there's a pretty good chance you would if you're in engineering or even computer science.

 

[moonofendor]

pretty sure that's wrong.

from the op a^2=x

and a^3=y

now you're looking to find what log a 24 =?

well log a (nm) = log a + log a(m)

from that you can break up the log a(24) to log a(8) + log a(3)

log a(x^p)= p log a(x).

so the final answer would be

3x+y...

and if you meant y instead of seven, then yes, you're right.

Try using the correct "there" if you're going to bash about school work.

 

[JKill]

Got me.

 

[Blindsurfer]

[RIP_leos_shack]

[CAPITA-DEVOURS]

[.JPolster]

I did mean y. No clue why i put 7

Stop posting this in threads where people ask for math help. It isn't funny at all

OMG LIKE YOU ARE SO SMART. IF WE ARE NEVER GOING TO NEED IT OUTSIDE OF SCHOOL WHY BOTHERING LEARNING IT? YOU MUST BE THE FIRST PERSON TO EVER THINK OF THAT ANSWER.

HERE IS THE ANSWER: YOU ARE STUPID.
