The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the value of \( \frac{c}{ab} \) given the logarithmic relationships. Let's break down the solution step by step. ### Step 1: Use the given logarithmic equations We have: 1. \( \log_a b = 2 \) 2. \( \log_b c = 2 \) 3. \( \log_3 c = 3 + \log_3 a \) ### Step 2: Rewrite the logarithmic equations From \( \log_a b = 2 \), we can rewrite it in exponential form: \[ b = a^2 \] From \( \log_b c = 2 \), we can also rewrite it: \[ c = b^2 \] ### Step 3: Substitute \( b \) into the equation for \( c \) Now, substituting \( b = a^2 \) into \( c = b^2 \): \[ c = (a^2)^2 = a^4 \] ### Step 4: Use the third logarithmic equation Now we use the third equation \( \log_3 c = 3 + \log_3 a \): Substituting \( c = a^4 \): \[ \log_3 (a^4) = 3 + \log_3 a \] Using the property of logarithms \( \log_b (m^n) = n \cdot \log_b m \): \[ 4 \log_3 a = 3 + \log_3 a \] ### Step 5: Solve for \( \log_3 a \) Rearranging the equation: \[ 4 \log_3 a - \log_3 a = 3 \] \[ 3 \log_3 a = 3 \] \[ \log_3 a = 1 \] ### Step 6: Find \( a \) Converting back from logarithmic form: \[ a = 3^1 = 3 \] ### Step 7: Find \( b \) and \( c \) Now substitute \( a = 3 \) back to find \( b \) and \( c \): \[ b = a^2 = 3^2 = 9 \] \[ c = a^4 = 3^4 = 81 \] ### Step 8: Calculate \( \frac{c}{ab} \) Now we can find \( \frac{c}{ab} \): \[ ab = 3 \cdot 9 = 27 \] \[ \frac{c}{ab} = \frac{81}{27} = 3 \] ### Final Answer The value of \( \frac{c}{ab} \) is \( \boxed{3} \).
