The expression is equal to [tex]log_{12} \dfrac{1}{4}[/tex].
What is Logarithm?
A log function is a way to find how much a number must be raised in order to get the desired number.
[tex]a^c =b[/tex]
can be written as
[tex]\rm{log_ab=c[/tex]
where a is the base to which the power is to be raised,
b is the desired number that we want when power is to be raised,
c is the power that must be raised to a to get b.
For example, let's assume we need to raise the power for 10 to make it 1000 in this case log will help us to know that the power must be raised by 3.
What is the change of base rule for logarithmic expressions?
A change of base rule says,
[tex]log_b(A) = \dfrac{log_x(A)}{log_x(b)}[/tex],
where x can be any base.
Given to us
- [tex]\dfrac{log \frac{1}{4}}{log 12}[/tex]
Change of base rule,
[tex]\dfrac{log \frac{1}{4}}{log 12}[/tex]
Using the Change of base rule,
[tex]=log_{12} \dfrac{1}{4}[/tex]
Hence, the expression is equal to [tex]log_{12} \dfrac{1}{4}[/tex].
