kinda stuck on this question , any help?



Find the value for Y such that Log2Y= -3

[the bear]

Remember that

log_ab = c

is equivalent to

b = a^c

thank you !

log2y=-3
log2y=log-3
ylog2=log-3
y=log-3/log2

hope this helps

You could confuse the OP by posting something like that, I can't tell if you're joking.

Is it log(2y) or log2(y) as in log to the base 2? Just to note that if there's no base given, that implies base 10, which will mean your answer will be (10^-3 )/2.

Just ignore this, OP.

Don't mind, but your concepts of logs are very weak. I remember that you have asked a lot of question before about logs, first you need to get good at this yourself then answer others. Otherwise, you will just confuse the OP.

The question is:

We will solve it by writing it as,

I think i have explained this stuff to you before, right?

You can't do this:
log2y=-3
log2y=log-3
ylog2=log-3
y=log-3/log2

Remember if you have something like, , then you can write it as, , but you are doing wrong.

What made you think that you could simply log the RHS

i may have to look over logs again.

You NEED to have a look, your concepts are still unclear.

Don't be pessimistic, you still have time to improve.

dongonaeatu, you just gotta write out the 4 or 5 log rules out next to each other and rote memorise them one by one. You gotta have them all there on the same page so you don't get them mixed up.
