If log10 2 = x, express log1012.5 in terms of x

A.

2(1 + x)

B.

2 + 3x

C.

2(1 - x)

D.

2 - 3x

Correct Answer: 2 - 3x

Explanation

log1012.5 = log1012(1/2) = log1025/2 = log1025 - log102 = log105log10 - log102 = 2log105 - log102 = 2log1010/2 - log102 = 2(1-x)- x = 2 - 2x – x = 2 – 3x

log1012.5 = log1012(1/2) = log1025/2 = log1025 - log102 = log105log10 - log102 = 2log105 - log102 = 2log1010/2 - log102 = 2(1-x)- x = 2 - 2x – x = 2 – 3x
