The correct Answer is:
To arrange the logarithmic expressions \( \log_{2}(x), \log_{3}(x), \log_{e}(x), \log_{10}(x) \) in ascending order for \( 0 < x < 1 \), we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the behavior of logarithms**: - For any base \( a > 1 \), the logarithm \( \log_{a}(x) \) is negative when \( 0 < x < 1 \). - The value of the logarithm decreases as the base increases. 2. **Identify the bases**: - The bases of the logarithms in our case are \( 2, 3, e \) (approximately \( 2.718 \)), and \( 10 \). - We know that \( 2 < e < 3 < 10 \). 3. **Comparing the logarithmic values**: - Since \( \log_{a}(x) \) is negative and decreases as \( a \) increases, we can conclude: - \( \log_{2}(x) < \log_{3}(x) < \log_{e}(x) < \log_{10}(x) \) - This is because the logarithm with a smaller base (here, base 2) will yield a larger negative value than the logarithm with a larger base (here, base 10). 4. **Arranging in ascending order**: - Therefore, we can write: \[ \log_{10}(x) < \log_{e}(x) < \log_{3}(x) < \log_{2}(x) \] 5. **Final result**: - The ascending order of the logarithmic expressions is: \[ \log_{10}(x), \log_{e}(x), \log_{3}(x), \log_{2}(x) \]
