Answer

32log⁡103\frac{3}{2} \log_{10} 3

Step-by-step solution

3 steps
  1. Rewrite the argument of the logarithm in exponential form.

    The argument is 333\sqrt{3}.

    33=31⋅31/23\sqrt{3} = 3^1 \cdot 3^{1/2}

    Using the exponent rule am⋅an=am+na^m \cdot a^n = a^{m+n}:

    31⋅31/2=31+12=322+12=3323^1 \cdot 3^{1/2} = 3^{1 + \frac{1}{2}} = 3^{\frac{2}{2} + \frac{1}{2}} = 3^{\frac{3}{2}}
  2. Substitute this back into the logarithm expression.

    log⁡10(33)=log⁡10(332)\log_{10} (3\sqrt{3}) = \log_{10} (3^{\frac{3}{2}})
  3. Apply the power rule of logarithms, log⁡b(xy)=ylog⁡bx\log_b (x^y) = y \log_b x.

    log⁡10(332)=32log⁡103\log_{10} (3^{\frac{3}{2}}) = \frac{3}{2} \log_{10} 3

    The simplified expression is:

    32log⁡103\frac{3}{2} \log_{10} 3
