Logarithm Equivalence 42Cfe6
1. The problem is to determine if a certain expression is equivalent to $\frac{\log 5}{\log 4}$.
2. Recall the change of base formula for logarithms:
$$\log_a b = \frac{\log_c b}{\log_c a}$$
where $a$, $b$, and $c$ are positive numbers and $a \neq 1$, $c \neq 1$.
3. Using this formula, $\frac{\log 5}{\log 4}$ can be interpreted as $\log_4 5$.
4. Therefore, $\frac{\log 5}{\log 4}$ is equivalent to the logarithm of 5 with base 4.
5. In plain language, dividing the logarithm of 5 by the logarithm of 4 (both in the same base) gives you the logarithm of 5 in base 4.
6. So yes, $\frac{\log 5}{\log 4}$ is equivalent to $\log_4 5$.
