### Change-of-Base Formula for Logarithms

The change-of-base formula allows you to evaluate logarithms with any base using common logarithms (base 10) or natural logarithms (base e). The formula is given by:

\[
\log_a(x) = \frac{\log_b(x)}{\log_b(a)}
\]

where \(b\) is the new base, often 10 or e.

#### Exercise A

Determine the expression for \(\log_5(2)\) using common logarithms and natural logarithms.

- **Common Logarithm:**
  \[
  \log_5(2) = \frac{\log(2)}{\log(5)}
  \]

- **Natural Logarithm:**
  \[
  \log_5(2) = \frac{\ln(2)}{\ln(5)}
  \]

#### Exercise B

Determine the expression for \(\log_9(4)\) using:

- **Common Logarithm:**
  \[
  \log_9(4) = \frac{\log(4)}{\log(9)}
  \]

- **Natural Logarithm:**
  \[
  \log_9(4) = \frac{\ln(4)}{\ln(9)}
  \]

#### Exercise C

Determine the expression for \(\log_7(11)\) using:

- **Common Logarithm:**
  \[
  \log_7(11) = \frac{\log(11)}{\log(7)}
  \]

- **Natural Logarithm:**
  \[
  \log_7(11) = \frac{\ln(11)}{\ln(7)}
  \]

#### Exercise D

Determine the expression for \(\log_6(4)\) using:

- **Common Logarithm:**
  \[
  \log_6(4) = \frac{\log(4)}{\log(6)}
  \]

- **Natural Logarithm:**
  \[
  \log_6(4) = \frac{\ln(4)}{\ln(6)}
  \]

These exercises illustrate how you can express logarithms for any base using more familiar logarithms.
