if  log_a c+log_c b=2 ; log_b c+log_a c=0  find  (1/(log_a b)) + (1/(log_b c)) + (1/(log_c a)) = ?

$${if}\:\:\boldsymbol{{log}}_{\boldsymbol{{a}}} \boldsymbol{{c}}+\boldsymbol{{log}}_{\boldsymbol{{c}}} \boldsymbol{{b}}=\mathrm{2}\:;\:\boldsymbol{{log}}_{\boldsymbol{{b}}} \boldsymbol{{c}}+\boldsymbol{{log}}_{\boldsymbol{{a}}} \boldsymbol{{c}}=\mathrm{0} \\ $$$${find}\:\:\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\boldsymbol{{log}}_{\boldsymbol{{a}}} \boldsymbol{{b}}}\:+\:\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\boldsymbol{{log}}_{\boldsymbol{{b}}} \boldsymbol{{c}}}\:+\:\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\boldsymbol{{log}}_{\boldsymbol{{c}}} \boldsymbol{{a}}}\:=\:? \\ $$

log_b c+log_a c=0  log_b c×log_c b=−log_a c×log_c b  1=−log_a b  ∴log_b a=−1  (1/(log_a b))+(1/(log_b c))+(1/(log_c a))  log_b a+log_c b+log_a c  −1+2=1 [∵log_a c+log_c b=2]

$$\boldsymbol{{log}}_{\boldsymbol{{b}}} \boldsymbol{{c}}+\boldsymbol{{log}}_{\boldsymbol{{a}}} \boldsymbol{{c}}=\mathrm{0} \\ $$$$\boldsymbol{{log}}_{\boldsymbol{{b}}} \boldsymbol{{c}}×\boldsymbol{{log}}_{\boldsymbol{{c}}} \boldsymbol{{b}}=−\boldsymbol{{log}}_{\boldsymbol{{a}}} \boldsymbol{{c}}×\boldsymbol{{log}}_{\boldsymbol{{c}}} \boldsymbol{{b}} \\ $$$$\mathrm{1}=−\boldsymbol{{log}}_{\boldsymbol{{a}}} \boldsymbol{{b}} \\ $$$$\therefore\boldsymbol{{log}}_{\boldsymbol{{b}}} \boldsymbol{{a}}=−\mathrm{1} \\ $$$$\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\boldsymbol{{log}}_{\boldsymbol{{a}}} \boldsymbol{{b}}}+\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\boldsymbol{{log}}_{\boldsymbol{{b}}} \boldsymbol{{c}}}+\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\boldsymbol{{log}}_{\boldsymbol{{c}}} \boldsymbol{{a}}} \\ $$$$\boldsymbol{{log}}_{\boldsymbol{{b}}} \boldsymbol{{a}}+\boldsymbol{{log}}_{\boldsymbol{{c}}} \boldsymbol{{b}}+\boldsymbol{{log}}_{\boldsymbol{{a}}} \boldsymbol{{c}} \\ $$$$−\mathrm{1}+\mathrm{2}=\mathrm{1}\:\left[\because\boldsymbol{{log}}_{\boldsymbol{{a}}} \boldsymbol{{c}}+\boldsymbol{{log}}_{\boldsymbol{{c}}} \boldsymbol{{b}}=\mathrm{2}\right] \\ $$$$ \\ $$

  { ((log _a c+log _c b = 2 ...(1))),((log _b c + log _a c = 0 ...(2))) :}   we know that log _a c = (1/(log _c a))  so log _b c + log _a c = 0  ⇒(1/(log _c b)) = −(1/(log _c a)) or log _c a =−log _c b   then a = (1/b) ...(3)  substract eq(1) &(2) give   ⇒ log _c b−log _b c = 2   now consider that   (1/(log _a b)) + (1/(log _b c)) + (1/(log _c a)) =  log _b a + log _c b + log _a c =  −1+ log _c b−log _b c =  −1+2 = 1.
