![Prove the identity log_(a/b) x = ((log_a x log_b x)/(log_b x − log_a x)) From the Right hand side ((log_a x log_b x)/(log_b x − log_a x)) Using... log_n m = ((logm)/(logn)) = ((((logx)/(loga)) × ((logx)/(logb)))/( ((logx)/(logb)) − ((logx)/(loga)))) = ((((logx)^2 )/(loga logb))/((logalogx − logb logx)/(loga logb ))) = (((logx)^2 )/(loga logb)) × ((loga logb)/(logalogx − logblogx)) = (((logx)^2 )/(logalogx − logblogx)) = (((logx)^2 )/(logx(loga − logb))) = ((logx)/(loga − logb )) = ((logx)/(log(a/b))) Using... log_n m = ((logm)/(logn)) = log_(a/b) x [Left Hand Side] PROVED THANKS SO MUCH YOZII](Q5603.png)
