The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the value of \( \log_3 2 \) given that \( \log_4 5 = a \) and \( \log_5 6 = b \). ### Step-by-step Solution: 1. **Express \( 5 \) in terms of \( 4 \)**: From the equation \( \log_4 5 = a \), we can rewrite it using the definition of logarithms: \[ 5 = 4^a \] 2. **Express \( 6 \) in terms of \( 5 \)**: Similarly, from the equation \( \log_5 6 = b \): \[ 6 = 5^b \] 3. **Substitute \( 5 \) into the equation for \( 6 \)**: Now, substitute the expression for \( 5 \) from step 1 into the equation for \( 6 \): \[ 6 = (4^a)^b = 4^{ab} \] 4. **Express \( 4 \) in terms of \( 2 \)**: We know that \( 4 = 2^2 \), so we can rewrite \( 6 \): \[ 6 = (2^2)^{ab} = 2^{2ab} \] 5. **Break down \( 6 \)**: We can also express \( 6 \) as \( 2 \times 3 \): \[ 6 = 2^1 \times 3^1 \] 6. **Equate the two expressions for \( 6 \)**: Now we have two expressions for \( 6 \): \[ 2^{2ab} = 2^1 \times 3^1 \] From this, we can equate the powers of \( 2 \): \[ 2ab = 1 + \log_2 3 \] 7. **Express \( \log_2 3 \)**: Rearranging gives us: \[ \log_2 3 = 2ab - 1 \] 8. **Express \( \log_3 2 \)**: We need to find \( \log_3 2 \). Using the change of base formula: \[ \log_3 2 = \frac{1}{\log_2 3} \] Substituting the value of \( \log_2 3 \) from the previous step: \[ \log_3 2 = \frac{1}{2ab - 1} \] ### Conclusion: Thus, the value of \( \log_3 2 \) is: \[ \log_3 2 = \frac{1}{2ab - 1} \] ### Final Answer: The correct option is (d) \( \frac{1}{2ab - 1} \).
