Given log3^2=0.631 and log3^7=1.771, what is log3^14?
a. 1.118
b. 1.893
c. 2.402
d. 3.542

Answer:
C. [tex]log_3(14)=2.402[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
It was given that;
[tex]log_3(2)=0.631[/tex] and [tex]log_3(7)=1.771[/tex].
We want to evaluate [tex]log_3(14)[/tex].
We need to use the property of logarithms to express [tex]log_3(14)[/tex] in terms of the two given logarithms.
Thus;
[tex]log_3(14)=log_3(7\times 2)[/tex]
Recall that;
[tex]log_a(M\times N)=log_a(M)+log_a(N)[/tex]
This implies that
[tex]log_3(14)=log_3(2)+log_3(7)[/tex]
[tex]log_3(14)=0.631+1.771[/tex]
[tex]\Rightarrow log_3(14)=2.402[/tex]
Therefore the correct answer is C
