Answers

1. Answer :

log232 = log2(2)5

= 5log2(2)

= 5(1)

= 5

2. Answer :

Write 1728 as a power of 23.

1728 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 x 3

1728 = 26 x 33

1728 = 26 x [(3)2]3

1728 = 26 x (3)6

1728 = (23)6

log2√3(1728) = log2√3(23)6

Using the power rule of logarithms,

= 6log2√3(23)

= 6(1)

= 6

3. Answer :

log0.10.0001 = log0.1(0.1)4

= 4log0.10.1

= 4(1)

= 4

4. Answer :

log9(1/81) = log91 - log981

= 0 - log9(9)2

= -2log99

= -2(1)

= -2

5. Answer :

log2(0.0625) = log2(0.5)4

= 4log2(0.5)

= 4log2(1/2)

= 4(log21 - log22)

= 4(0 - 1)

= 4(-1)

= -4

6. Answer :

log9(0.3) = log9(1/3)

= log91 - log93

= 0 - log93

= -log93

= -1 / log39

= -1 / log332

= -1 / 2log33

= -1 / 2(1)

= -1/2

7. Answer :

loga(√2) = 1/6

Write the equation in exponential form.

√2 = a1/6

Raise to the power 6 on both sides.

(√2)6 = (a1/6)6

(21/2)6 = a

23a

8 = a

8. Answer :

= (1/2)log1025 - 2log103 + log1018

Using power rule of logarithms,

= log10251/2 - log1032 + log1018

= log10(52)1/2 - log1032 + log1018

= log105 - log109 + log1018

= log105 + log1018 - log109

Using the product rule of logarithms,

= log10(5 x 18) - log109

= log1090 - log109

Using the quotient rule of logarithms,

= log10(90/9)

= log1010

= 1

9. Answer :

log6 = log(2 ⋅ 3)

= log2 + log3

Substitute the values of log2 and log3.

= 0.3010 + 0.4771

= 0.7781

10. Answer :

2logx = 4log3

Divide each side by 2.

logx = 2log3

logx = log32

logx = log9

x = 9

11. Answer :

x + 1 = logabc + logaa = logaabc

y + 1 = logbca + logbc = logbabc

z + 1 = logcab + logcc = logcabc

1/(x + 1) = 1/logaabc = logabca

1/(y + 1) = 1/logbabc = logabcb

1/(z + 1) = 1/logcabc = logabcc

1/(x + 1) + 1/(y + 1) + 1/(z + 1) = logabca + logabcb + logabcc

= logabcabc

= 1

12. Answer :

1 + abc = 1 + log2412  log3624 ⋅ log4836

= 1 + log3612 ⋅ log4836

= 1 + log4812

= log4848 + log4812

= log48(48 ⋅ 12)

= log48(2 ⋅ 12)2

= 2log4824

= 2log3624 ⋅ log4836

= 2bc

13. Answer :

logx + logy = log(x + y)

Using the product rule of logarithms on the left side of the equation,

log(xy) = log(x + y)

xy = x + y

Subtract y from both sides.

xy - y = x

Factor.

y(x - 1) = x

Divide both sides by (x - 1).

y = x/(x - 1)
