Use the definition of the logarithmic function to find x.
9. (a) log5 x =4 (b) logo 0.1 =x
10. (a) log4 2 = x (b) log4 x:2
11. (a) log.1000=3 (b) log.25 = 2
Use the Laws of Logarithms to combine the expression as a single logarithms
12. log 12+* log 7- log 2
13. logs(x-1) - logs(x-1)
14. log 50 + log 2 =x 15. log25+ log 200 =x
16. log 80 + log 5 - log 4 = x 17. log: 54 log, 4 + log: 6 =X

~log4 +log27 +2logs-log6- x 19. logs 10 + logs 50- 2 logs 2 = x
20. ½ logs 1- 2logs 5=x 21. log 25 - log 5 + log 20=x
22. logz 4- log, 16 = x 23. 2logs 4 - 1/3logs 8 = x
24. 2log 5 +% log 16 = x 25. log 200- log 2 + log 1 = x
Use the properties of logarithms to write the following as a single logarithm.
1. Inx+In2 =
2. log4 z-log4 y =
3. 2log2(x+4) =
4 5x =
5. log:(x-2)-log,(r+2) =_
6. 2ln8+5lnz =
7. 3ln8+ 2lny-4lnz =
8. 4[lnz +In(z + 5)]-2in(z -5) =
9. Inx-2[In(x + 2) + In(r -2)]=
