Question

which statement is true?

\\(y = \log_{10} x\\) is not a logarithmic function because the base is greater than 0.

\\(y = \log_{\sqrt{3}} x\\) is not a logarithmic function because the base is a square root.

\\(y = \log_{1} x\\) is not a logarithmic function because the base is equal to 1.

\\(y = \log_{\frac{3}{4}} x\\) is not a logarithmic function because the base is a fraction.

Explanation:

Define logarithmic function base restrictions

$$ y = \log_{b} x \implies b > 0 \text{ and } b eq 1 $$

Evaluate each statement against base restrictions

$$ LATEXBLOCK0 $$

Identify the correct statement

$$ y = \log_{1} x \text{ is not a logarithmic function because the base is equal to 1.} $$

Answer:

  • (A) \(y = \log_{10} x\) is not a logarithmic function because the base is greater than 0.
  • (B) \(y = \log_{\sqrt{3}} x\) is not a logarithmic function because the base is a square root.
  • (C) \(y = \log_{1} x\) is not a logarithmic function because the base is equal to 1. (Correct answer)
  • (D) \(y = \log_{\frac{3}{4}} x\) is not a logarithmic function because the base is a fraction.
