for any a, b, c > 0 we have log a × log b − log a × log c + log b × log c − log b × log a + log c × log a − log c × log b = 0 log a × (log b − log c) + log b × (log c − log a) + log c × (log a − log b) = 0 log ((b/c))^(log a) +log ((c/a))^(log b) +log ((a/b))^(log c) =0 log[ ((b/c))^(log a) ×((c/a))^(log b) × ((a/b))^(log c) ]=0 ((b/c))^(log a) ×((c/a))^(log b) × ((a/b))^(log c) =1

log [((a/b))^(log c) .((b/c))^(log a) . ((c/a))^(log b) ]=log 1 log ((a/b))^(log c) +log ((b/c))^(log a) +log ((c/a))^(log b) =0 log c log ((a/b))+log a log ((b/c))+log b log ((c/a))=0 log c [log ((a/b))+((log a)/(log c)) log ((b/c))+ ((log b)/(log c)) log ((c/a))=0 log c [log ((a/b))+log _c a log ((b/c))+log _c b log ((c/a))=0 ((log c)/c)[log ((a/b))+log _c a log ((b/c))+log _c b log ((c/a))=(0/c) ∴ ((log c)/c)=0

((log c)/c)=0 means log c=0 or c=1, but ((a/b))^(log c) .((b/c))^(log a) . ((c/a))^(log b) =1 is valid for any values of a, b, c > 0.

$$\frac{\mathrm{log}\:\mathrm{c}}{\mathrm{c}}=\mathrm{0}\:\mathrm{means}\:\mathrm{log}\:\mathrm{c}=\mathrm{0}\:\mathrm{or}\:\mathrm{c}=\mathrm{1},\:\mathrm{but} \\ $$$$\left(\frac{\mathrm{a}}{\mathrm{b}}\right)^{\mathrm{log}\:\mathrm{c}} .\left(\frac{\mathrm{b}}{\mathrm{c}}\right)^{\mathrm{log}\:\mathrm{a}} .\:\left(\frac{\mathrm{c}}{\mathrm{a}}\right)^{\mathrm{log}\:\mathrm{b}} \:=\mathrm{1}\:\mathrm{is}\:\mathrm{valid} \\ $$$$\mathrm{for}\:\mathrm{any}\:\mathrm{values}\:\mathrm{of}\:\mathrm{a},\:\mathrm{b},\:\mathrm{c}\:>\:\mathrm{0}. \\ $$

i think the values for a b c are 1000 100 and 10

no, a b c can be any positive values. this is proved. if you want an expression for ((log c)/c), then it is ((log c)/c)=r, 0<r≤(1/(e×ln 10))

$$\mathrm{no},\:\mathrm{a}\:\mathrm{b}\:\mathrm{c}\:\mathrm{can}\:\mathrm{be}\:\mathrm{any}\:\mathrm{positive}\:\mathrm{values}. \\ $$$$\mathrm{this}\:\mathrm{is}\:\mathrm{proved}. \\ $$$$\mathrm{if}\:\mathrm{you}\:\mathrm{want}\:\mathrm{an}\:\mathrm{expression}\:\mathrm{for}\:\frac{\mathrm{log}\:\mathrm{c}}{\mathrm{c}}, \\ $$$$\mathrm{then}\:\mathrm{it}\:\mathrm{is} \\ $$$$\frac{\mathrm{log}\:\mathrm{c}}{\mathrm{c}}=\mathrm{r},\:\mathrm{0}<\mathrm{r}\leqslant\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{e}×\mathrm{ln}\:\mathrm{10}} \\ $$

then how possible is it to get r ?

Commented by mrW1 last updated on 04/Nov/17

c is any value, that means r is any value in the range (0, (1/(e×ln 10))]

$$\mathrm{c}\:\mathrm{is}\:\mathrm{any}\:\mathrm{value},\:\mathrm{that}\:\mathrm{means}\:\mathrm{r}\:\mathrm{is}\:\mathrm{any}\:\mathrm{value} \\ $$$$\mathrm{in}\:\mathrm{the}\:\mathrm{range}\:\left(\mathrm{0},\:\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{e}×\mathrm{ln}\:\mathrm{10}}\right] \\ $$
