We will use the properties of logarithms to simplify the expression.
First, we can rewrite log(815) using the quotient rule of logarithms: log(ba)=log(a)−log(b) So, log(815)=log(15)−log(8). Now, we can rewrite 15 as 3×5 and 8 as 23: log(15)=log(3×5)=log(3)+log(5) log(8)=log(23)=3log(2) Therefore, log(815)=log(3)+log(5)−3log(2). Next, consider the term 4log2. Using the power rule of logarithms: alog(b)=log(ba) 4log2=log(24)=log(16). Now, we can substitute these back into the original expression:
log(815)+4log2−log3=(log(3)+log(5)−3log(2))+log(16)−log(3) The log(3) terms cancel out: log(5)−3log(2)+log(16)=log(5)−log(23)+log(16)=log(5)−log(8)+log(16) Now, we can combine the logarithmic terms:
log(5)+log(16)−log(8)=log(5×16)−log(8)=log(80)−log(8) Using the quotient rule again:
log(80)−log(8)=log(880)=log(10) Assuming the logarithm is base 10, log10(10)=1.
