The correct Answer is:
To solve the given problem, we need to analyze the statements provided regarding logarithms with a base between 0 and 1. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Logarithmic Function**: The logarithmic function \( \log_a x \) is defined for \( x > 0 \). When the base \( a \) is between 0 and 1 (i.e., \( 0 < a < 1 \)), the function behaves differently than when the base is greater than 1. **Hint**: Remember that the properties of logarithms change with the base. For bases less than 1, the function is decreasing. 2. **Analyzing Statement 1**: The statement claims that if \( 0 < x < y \), then \( \log_a x > \log_a y \) when \( 0 < a < 1 \). - Since \( x < y \), and because \( \log_a x \) is a decreasing function in this range, it follows that \( \log_a x \) must be greater than \( \log_a y \). **Hint**: Use the property of decreasing functions: if \( f \) is decreasing and \( x < y \), then \( f(x) > f(y) \). 3. **Analyzing Statement 2**: The second statement asserts that \( \log_a x \) is a decreasing function when \( 0 < a < 1 \). - This is true because as \( x \) increases, the value of \( \log_a x \) decreases when \( a \) is between 0 and 1. **Hint**: Graph the function \( \log_a x \) for \( 0 < a < 1 \) to visualize its decreasing nature. 4. **Conclusion**: Both statements are true. Therefore, we can conclude that Statement 1 is correct based on the properties of logarithmic functions with bases between 0 and 1, and Statement 2 accurately describes the behavior of the logarithmic function in this context. ### Final Answer: Both Statement 1 and Statement 2 are true.
