Example Question #3051 : Algebra Ii
Solve for .
Rewrite in exponential form:
Solve for x:
Example Question #4 : Solving Logarithms
Solve the following equation:
For this problem it is helpful to remember that,
is equivalent to because
Therefore we can set what is inside of the parentheses equal to each other and solve for as follows:
Example Question #5 : Solving Logarithms
Solve for :
To solve this logarithm, we need to know how to read a logarithm. A logarithm is the inverse of an exponential function. If a exponential equation is
then its inverse function, or logarithm, is
Therefore, for this problem, in order to solve for , we simply need to solve
which is .
Example Question #7 : Solving Logarithms
Solve for .
Logs are exponential functions using base 10 and a property is that you can combine added logs by multiplying.
You cannot take the log of a negative number. x=-25 is extraneous.
Example Question #1 : Solving Logarithms
If , which of the following is a possible value for ?
This question is testing the definition of logs. is the same as .
In this case, can be rewritten as .
Taking square roots of both sides, you get . Since only the positive answer is one of the answer choices, is the correct answer.
Example Question #9 : Solving Logarithms
Rewriting Logarithms in Exponential Form
Solve for below:
Which of the below represents this function in log form?
The first step is to rewrite this equation in log form.
When rewriting an exponential function as a log we must remember that the form of an exponential is:
When this is rewritten in log form it is:
.
Therefore we have which when rewritten gives us,
.
Example Question #10 : Solving Logarithms
Solve for :
.
Not enough information
Use the rule of Exponents of Logarithms to turn all the multipliers into exponents:
.
Simplify by applying the exponents: .
According to the law for adding logarithms, .
Therefore, multiply the 4 and 7.
.
Because both sides have the same base, .
Example Question #11 : Solving Logarithms
Evaluate .
No solution
In logarithmic expressions, is the same thing as .
Therefore, the equation can be rewritten as .
Both 8 and 128 are powers of 2, so the equation can then be rewritten as .
Since both sides have the same base, set .
Solve by dividing both sides of the equation by 3: .
Example Question #12 : Solving Logarithms
Solve the equation for .
No solution
Because both sides have the same logarithmic base, both terms can be set equal to each other:
Now, evaluate the equation.
First, add x to both sides:
Add 15 to both sides:
Finally, divide by 6: .
Example Question #3052 : Algebra Ii
Solve this logarithmic equation:
None of the other answers.
To solve this problem you must be familiar with the one-to-one logarithmic property.
if and only if x=y. This allows us to eliminate to logarithmic functions assuming they have the same base.
one-to-one property:
isolate x's to one side:
move constant:
