Question

the expression \\(\frac{\log \frac{1}{3}}{\log 2}\\) is the result of applying the change of base formula to a logarithmic expression. which could be the original expression?

\\(\log_{\frac{1}{3}} 2\\)
\\(\log_{\frac{1}{2}} 3\\)
\\(\log_2 \frac{1}{3}\\)
\\(\log_3 \frac{1}{2}\\)

Explanation:

Identify the given expression and formula

Using the Change of Base Formula knowledge point

$$ \frac{\log \frac{1}{3}}{\log 2} $$

The change of base formula states:

$$ \log_b a = \frac{\log_c a}{\log_c b} $$

Map the components to find the original expression

Using the Change of Base Formula knowledge point

$$ LATEXBLOCK0 $$

Answer:

  • (A) \(\log_{\frac{1}{3}} 2\)
  • (B) \(\log_{\frac{1}{2}} 3\)
  • (C) \(\log_2 \frac{1}{3}\) (Correct answer)
  • (D) \(\log_3 \frac{1}{2}\)
