Answer
Correct choice: (D)
正确答案:(D)
Solution
Answer (D): By the change of base formula, $\frac{1}{\log_m n}=\log_n m$. Thus
$1=\frac{1}{\log_2 a}+\frac{1}{\log_3 a}+\frac{1}{\log_4 a}=\log_a 2+\log_a 3+\log_a 4=\log_a 24.$
It follows that $a=24$.
答案(D):由换底公式,$\frac{1}{\log_m n}=\log_n m$。因此
$1=\frac{1}{\log_2 a}+\frac{1}{\log_3 a}+\frac{1}{\log_4 a}=\log_a 2+\log_a 3+\log_a 4=\log_a 24。$
所以 $a=24$。
