Evaluate the given exponential expressions without using a calculator: log2 (400) - log2 (100)

Given that log2 (400) - log2
(100)


We need to find the values of the expression without
using the calculator.


Then we will use logarithm properties
to find the values.


We know that log a - log b = log
a/b


==> log2 (400) - log2 (100 = log2
(400/100)


==> log2 (400) - log2 (100) = log2
(4)


But we know that 4 =
2^2.


==> log2 (4) = log2
2^2


Now we know that log a^b = b*log
a


==> log2 (2^2) = 2*log2 2 = 2*1 =
2



Then the values of log2 (400) -
log2 (100) = 2

Can (sec x - cosec x) / (tan x - cot x) be simplified further?

Given the expression ( sec x - csec x ) / (tan x - cot x) We need to simplify. We will use trigonometric identities ...
