Example Question #2961 : Algebra Ii
Simplify:
When the base is raised to a certain power, taking the natural log of this whole term will eliminate the exponential and the power can be pulled out as the coefficient.
The answer is:
Example Question #12 : Logarithms And Exponents
Solve:
In order to solve this log, we will need to write 125 in terms of one fifth to a certain power.
Rewrite 125 as an exponent of one-fifth.
According to the log rule, , the bases will cancel, leaving just the exponent.
The answer is:
Example Question #2964 : Algebra Ii
Simplify, if possible:
Notice that the term in the log can be rewritten as a base raised to a certain power.
Rewrite the number in terms of base five.
According to log rules, the exponent can be dropped as a coefficient in front of the log.
The answer is:
Example Question #2965 : Algebra Ii
Solve:
Evaluate the log using the following property:
The log based and the base of the term will simplify.
The expression becomes:
The answer is:

making this false.
Example Question #64 : Understanding Logarithms
Try without a calculator:
Evaluate
None of the other choices gives the correct response.
By definition, if and only if .
8 and 16 are both powers of 2; specifically, . The latter equation can be rewritten as
By the Power of a Power Property, the equation becomes
or
It follows that

Solve for (nearest tenth):
.
By definition, if and only if . Set , and
if and only if
Through calculation, we see that
.
Example Question #62 : Logarithms
Try to answer without a calculator:
Which is true about ?
Cannot be determined
is an undefined quantity
is an undefined quantity
The question asks for the value of the "base 0 logarithm" of 0. However, this is not defined, as a logarithm can only have as its base a positive number not equal to 1.
Example Question #2971 : Algebra Ii
Given the following:
Decide if the following expression is true or false:
for all positive .
True
False
True
By definition of a logarithm,
if and only if
Take the th root of both sides, or, equivalently, raise both sides to the power of , and apply the Power of a Power Property:
or
By definition, it follows that , so the statement is true.
Example Question #2972 : Algebra Ii
, with positive and not equal to 1.
Which of the following is true of for all such ?
By definition,
If and only if
Square both sides, and apply the Power of a Power Property to the left expression:
It follows that for all positive not equal to 1,
for all .
