We need to show that:
(logxy)(logzx)(logyz)=1
Step 1: Expressing Logarithms in Terms of Natural Logarithms
Using the change of base formula:
logab=lnalnb
we rewrite each term:
logxy=lnxlny,logzx=lnzlnx,logyz=lnylnz
Step 2: Multiply the Three Expressions
(lnxlny)×(lnzlnx)×(lnylnz)
Step 3: Simplification
Since the terms in the numerators and denominators cancel out:
lnxlny×lnzlnx×lnylnz=1
Thus, we have:
(logxy)(logzx)(logyz)=1
Conclusion
The given logarithmic identity is proven to be true.
