Example Questions

Example Question #402 : Mathematical Relationships And Basic Graphs

Solve:

$\log_84+\log_810$

Possible Answers:

$\log32$

$\frac{\log40}{\log8}$

$\log5$

$\frac{\log14}{\log8}$

Correct answer:

$\frac{\log40}{\log8}$

Explanation:

To solve, we must keep in mind that a logarithm is asking the following:

$\log_ab$ means a^x=b , and we must find x.

First, we can rewrite the sum of the base-8 logarithms as a product (this is a property of logarithms):

$\log_8(4\cdot 10)=\log_840$

Now, we use the above formula to find what this numerically equals:

8^x=40

Take the natural or common logarithm of both sides, which allows us to bring the power x in front of the logarithm:

$\log8^x=\log40$

$x\log8=\log40$

$x=\frac{\log40}{\log8}$

Example Question #25 : Solving Logarithms

Solve for x:

$4^x=3^{x^2}$

Possible Answers:

$\log\frac{3}{4}$

$\frac{\log4}{\log3}$

$\frac{\log3}{\log4}$

$\log1$

$\log\frac{4}{3}$

Correct answer:

$\frac{\log4}{\log3}$

Explanation:

To solve for x, we must take the logarithm of both sides (common or natural, it doesn't matter):

$\log(4^x)=\log(3^{x^2})$

In doing this, we can now bring the exponents in front of the logarithms:

$x\log4=x^2\cdot\log3$

Now, solve for x:

$\log4=x\log3$

$x=\frac{\log4}{\log3}$

Example Question #161 : Logarithms

If $log_{m}(2)=.387$ and $log_{m}(3)=.613$ , what is ?

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

First, we know from logarithmic properties that:

$log_{n}(n)=1$

So if we can find a combination of our knowns that equal , we should be able to figure out . It may take some guess and check, but:

.387 + .613 = 1

That would equate to:

$log_{m}(2)+log_{m}(3) = 1$

Using our log properties, we can simplify into:

$log_{m}(2\cdot 3)=1$

$log_{m}(6)=1$

That means that:

m=6

Example Question #27 : Solving Logarithms

Evaluate $log_{100}(10000)$ .

Possible Answers:

100

Correct answer:

Explanation:

There are a few ways to go about this, but let's use a change of base to make the problem easier to work without using a calculator. First, we know that:

$log_{m}(n)=\frac{log_x(m)}{log_x(n)}$

We can choose any value for that we would like here, so to make things simple, let's put this problem in base :

$log_{100}(10000) = \frac{log_{10}(10000)}{log_{10}(100)} = \frac{4}{2} = 2$

Example Question #28 : Solving Logarithms

Evaluate log_3(27) .

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

We can take this problem and expand it a bit, which will make things easier in the long run. We know that:

$log_3(27)=log_3(3\cdot 3\cdot 3)$

Using one of our logarithmic properties, we can expand even further:

$log_3(3\cdot 3\cdot 3)=log_3(3)+log_3(3)+log_3(3)$

Another log property states that:

log_x(x)=1

So:

log_3(3)+log_3(3)+log_3(3) = 1+1+1 = 3

Example Question #21 : Solving And Graphing Logarithms

Solve:

$\log_4 16^x=10$

Possible Answers:

$x=\frac{5}{2}$

x=5

x=1

x=0

$x=\frac{2}{5}$

Correct answer:

x=5

Explanation:

To solve for x, remember that exponents inside logarithms can be moved to the front of the logarithm:

$x\cdot \log_416=10$

Next, we can rewrite the logarithm as the number it equals, and solve for x:

$x\cdot2=10$

x=5

Example Question #22 : Solving And Graphing Logarithms

Solve: ln(2x) = 100

Possible Answers:

$e^{50}$

$\frac{e^{100}}{2}$

$2e^{100}$

Correct answer:

$\frac{e^{100}}{2}$

Explanation:

In order to solve for the x-variable, we will need to exponential function both sides of the equation in order to eliminate the natural log.

$e^{ln(2x) }= e^{100}$

The equation becomes:

$2x= e^{100}$

Divide by two on both sides.

$\frac{2x}{2}= \frac{e^{100}}{2}$

$x= \frac{e^{100}}{2}$

The answer is: $\frac{e^{100}}{2}$

Example Question #3071 : Algebra Ii

Expand the log: $log_4(\frac{x^3}{y^5})$

Possible Answers:

$\frac{5}{3}log_4(\frac{x}{y})$

4log_3(x)-4log_5(y)

3log_4(x)-5log_4(y)

log_4(3x)-log_4(5y)

12log(x)-20log(y)

Correct answer:

3log_4(x)-5log_4(y)

Explanation:

Rewrite the logarithm using the quotient property.

$log_a(\frac{X}{Y}) = log_a(X)-log_a(Y)$

Rewrite the log.

$log_4(\frac{x^3}{y^5}) = log_4(x^3)-log_4(y^5)$

Use the power property to pull down the power.

log_a(X^n) = (n)log_a(X)

Simplify the log terms.

The answer is: 3log_4(x)-5log_4(y)

Example Question #3072 : Algebra Ii

Solve for :

$log_{16}(-x)=4$

Possible Answers:

-16=x

None of these

x=144

-4=x

-65536=x

Correct answer:

-65536=x

Explanation:

$log_{16}(-x)=4$

Using definition of logarithms:

16^4=-x

65536=-x

-65536=x

Example Question #3073 : Algebra Ii

Solve for :

$log_{16}(4)=-x$

Possible Answers:

x=-4

x=-.5

x=4

x=.5

None of these

Correct answer:

x=-.5

Explanation:

$log_{16}(4)=-x$

Using definition of logarithms

$16^{-x}=4$

$log 16^{-x}=log 4$

-x*log 16=log 4

$-x=\frac{log4}{log16}$

x=-.5
