The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we will follow the steps outlined in the video transcript and apply logarithmic properties systematically. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Given Information:** - We have three equations: 1. \( \log_a b = 2 \) 2. \( \log_b c = 2 \) 3. \( \log_3 c = 3 + \log_3 a \) 2. **Convert the first equation using the change of base formula:** \[ \log_a b = 2 \implies \frac{\log b}{\log a} = 2 \implies \log b = 2 \log a \] 3. **Substitute \( \log b \) into the second equation:** \[ \log_b c = 2 \implies \frac{\log c}{\log b} = 2 \implies \log c = 2 \log b \] Now substituting \( \log b = 2 \log a \): \[ \log c = 2(2 \log a) = 4 \log a \] 4. **Express \( c \) in terms of \( a \):** \[ \log c = 4 \log a \implies c = a^4 \] 5. **Use the third equation:** \[ \log_3 c = 3 + \log_3 a \] This can be rewritten using the logarithmic quotient rule: \[ \log_3 c - \log_3 a = 3 \implies \log_3 \left(\frac{c}{a}\right) = 3 \] Thus, \[ \frac{c}{a} = 3^3 = 27 \implies c = 27a \] 6. **Equate the two expressions for \( c \):** From step 4, we have \( c = a^4 \) and from step 5, \( c = 27a \): \[ a^4 = 27a \] Dividing both sides by \( a \) (assuming \( a \neq 0 \)): \[ a^3 = 27 \implies a = 3 \] 7. **Find \( c \):** Substitute \( a = 3 \) into \( c = a^4 \): \[ c = 3^4 = 81 \] 8. **Find \( b \):** Using the first equation \( \log_a b = 2 \): \[ \log_3 b = 2 \implies b = 3^2 = 9 \] 9. **Calculate \( \frac{c}{ab} \):** Now we have \( c = 81 \), \( a = 3 \), and \( b = 9 \): \[ ab = 3 \times 9 = 27 \] Therefore, \[ \frac{c}{ab} = \frac{81}{27} = 3 \] ### Final Answer: The value of \( \frac{c}{ab} \) is **3**.
