The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

$\therefore 7 \log \left(\frac{16}{15}\right)+5 \log \left(\frac{25}{24}\right)+3 \log \left(\frac{81}{80}\right)$ $=\log \left[\left(\frac{16}{15}\right)^{7} \cdot\left(\frac{25}{24}\right)^{5} \cdot\left(\frac{81}{80}\right)^{3}\right]$ $=\log 2$

Exponential and Logarithmic Functions

Logarithmic Functions:

The inverses of exponential functions are the logarithmic functions. The exponential function is y = ax and its inverse is x = ay. The logarithmic function y = logax is derived as the equivalent to the exponential equation x = ay. y = logax only under the following conditions: x = ay, (where, a > 0, and a≠1). In totality, it is called the logarithmic function with base a.

The domain of a logarithmic function is real numbers greater than 0, and the range is real numbers. The graph of y = logax is symmetrical to the graph of y = ax w.r.t. the line y = x. This relationship is true for any of the exponential functions and their inverse.

Exponential Functions:

Exponential functions have the formation as:

f(x)=bx

where,

b = the base

x = the exponent (or power)
