Question:

If a=\(\log _{2} 3, b=\log _{2} 5, c=\log _{7} 2,\) then \(\log _{140} 63\) in terms of a, b, c is

Updated On: Jun 24, 2024
  • $\frac{2 a c+1}{2 a+a b c+1}$
  • $\frac{2ac + 1}{ 2a +c +a } $
  • $\frac{2ac + 1}{ 2c + ab+ a } $
  • None of these

The Correct Option is D

Solution and Explanation

The correct option is: (D) None of these.
\(=\frac{\log _{2}(3 \times 3 \times 7)}{\log _{2}\left(2^{2} \times 5 \times 7\right)}=\frac{\log _{2} 3+\log _{2} 3+\log _{2} 7}{2 \log _{2} 2+\log _{2} 5+\log _{2} 7} \)
\(=\frac{2 a +\frac{1}{ c }}{2+ b +\frac{1}{ c }}=\frac{2 ac +1}{2 c + bc +1}\)
Now, 
\(\log _{140} 63=\log _{22 \times 5 \times 7}(3 \times 3 \times 7)\)

Exponential and Logarithmic Functions

Logarithmic Functions:

The inverses of exponential functions are the logarithmic functions. The exponential function is y = ax and its inverse is x = ay. The logarithmic function y = logax is derived as the equivalent to the exponential equation x = ay. y = logax only under the following conditions: x = ay, (where, a > 0, and a≠1). In totality, it is called the logarithmic function with base a.

The domain of a logarithmic function is real numbers greater than 0, and the range is real numbers. The graph of y = logax is symmetrical to the graph of y = ax w.r.t. the line y = x. This relationship is true for any of the exponential functions and their inverse.

Exponential Functions:

Exponential functions have the formation as:

f(x)=bx

where,

b = the base

x = the exponent (or power)
