If log83=P and log35=Q, express log105 in terms of P and Q

 

The answer isn't supposed to include any logarithms.

 

How should I solve this problem? Thank you in advance!

P =0.5283208.........

Q =1.4649735.........

P*Q =0.773976......., so:

8^0.773976...... = 5, so:

Log_10(5) = Log_10(8^0.773976...). Remove the "Log"

5 = 8^0.773976 =8^PQ

 

It follows that log_{10} 5 = (P + Q)/(8PQ).
