Simplify \(\frac{\log \sqrt{8}}{\log 4 - \log 2}\)

  • A. \(\frac{2}{3}\)
  • B. \(\frac{1}{2} \log 2\)
  • C. \(\frac{3}{2}\)
  • D. \(\log 2\)

Correct Answer: C. \(\frac{3}{2}\)

Explanation

\(\frac{\log\sqrt{8}}{\log 4 - \log 2} = \frac{\log 8\frac{1}{2}}{\log (\frac{4}{2})}\)

= \(\frac{8 \frac{1}{2}}{\log (\frac{4}{2})}\)

= \(\frac{\frac{1}{2} \log 2^3}{\log 2}\)

= \(\frac{3}{2} \frac{\log 2}{\log 2}\)

= \(\frac{3}{2}\)
