Prove that log 16 24*4*log 3 2 = 1 + 3*log 3 2

Supposing that 16 and 3 are the bases of logarithms, we'll
note


log3(2)=a.


We'll
transform the base 16 into the base
3:


log16(24)=log3(24)/log3(16)


log16(24)=log3(2^3*3)/log3(2^4)


We'll
use the product rule of
logarithms:


log16(24)=[log3(2^3)+log3(3)]/4log3(2), where
log 3 (3) = 1


log16(24)=[3log3(2)+1]/4log3(2)
(*)


Let's recall that we've
noted log3(2)=a.


We'll substitute log3(2)=a in expression
(*).


(3a+1)/4a=(3a+1)/4a


The
expression from the left side is identical with the expression from the right
side.

Comment on the setting and character of "The Fall of the House of Usher."How does setting act as a character?

Excellent observation, as it identifies how the settings of Poe's stories reflect the characters of their protagonists. Whet...
