1.- Calculate the value of x in each case:
1 64
a) log5125=x b) log 9 =x c) log3=x
729 4
27
d) logx81=4
Response x=3 x = -3 x = -3 x=3
Well 53= 5*5*5 = 125 9-3(1/9)3(13/93= 1/729 (3/4)-3(4/3)3= 43/33= 64/27 x4= 81 = 34
log2166=x log4x=5 g) log21024= x h)
logx7776=5
Response x = 1/3 x = 256 x = 10 x=6
Well 216x= 6 --> 63x= 61 45= 256 2x= 1024 = 210---> x = 10 x5= 7776 = 65
3x = 1 ---> x = 1/3

Response 6.5 0
Well 3log442(1/8)*log334- 0 = √ (1/2)*2 + (2/3)*3 - (3/4)*4 =
3*2log44 + (1/8)*4*log33 - 0 = 3 1+2-3=0
3*2*1 + (1/8)*4*1 = 6 + 1/2 = 6.5
3 log42+ log8 2

Response 18/5 3 log 2 - 2 log 5
Well (3*log(1/8)8) / (1 - log216)*(log42 + log82) log 24- log 5 + log 2 - log 4*5 = 4*log 2 - log 5 + log 2 - (log 4 + log 5)
3 * (-3) / (1 - 4) * ((1/2) + (1/3)) = (-9) / (-3) * (5/6) 4*log 2 - log 5 + log 2 - 2 log 2 - log 5 = 3log2 - 2 log 5
(-9)/(-15/6) = (-9)/(-5/2) = 18/5
e) log 18 - log 72 + log 24 - log 6 f) 2log264 + 1/3 log327 - log5125
Response 0 10
Well, log 18/72 + log 24/6 = log (18/72)*4 log2642+ log327(1/3)log553= log2(26)2+ log3(33)(1/3)3
log (1/4)*4 = log 1 = 0 12 + 1 - 3 = 10
3.-Apply the properties to the following expressions.
a. log(pq2) b. log
( 5p3q 7 r 2
xy5 )
Response: log p + log q2= log p + 2*log q log (5p3 q7r2- log (xy)5) = log 5 + log p3+ log q7+ log r2
- (log x + log y5) log 5 + 3*log p + 7*log q + 2*log r - log
x - 5*log y
c. log
4 m +5
2x+8
d. log
( 1
3(x +4) )
Response: log (4m + 5) - log (2x + 8) log 1 - log 3(x + 4) = 0 - log 3 - log (x + 4) = - log 3 - log
(x + 4) log (4m + 5) - (log 2(x + 8))
Solve the following equations.
a. log (x – 2) = 2 b. log (5x) = -1
Answer: log (x - 2) = log 100 log (5x) = -1*log 10 = log 10-1
x - 2 = 100 5x = 1/10
c. log (5x – 2) = log (3x + 7) d. log (x2+ 8x - 3) = 2log (x + 5)
Response: log (5x - 2) = log (3x + 7) log (x2+ 8x – 3) = log (x + 5)2----> x2+ 8x - 3 = x2+ 10x + 25
5x - 2 = 3x + 7 8x - 3 = 10x + 25 ----> -28 = 2x ----> x = -14
e. log (8x + 1) = log (2x f. – log (x
2)– 1) – +
log (x –log 3 + 7) – log x
5) = log (x
Response: log (8x + 1) = log (2x - 2)*3 (x - 1)/(x - 5) = (x + 7)/x
8x + 1 = 6x - 6 ----> 2x = -7 ---> x = -7/2 (x - 1)*x = (x - 5)*(x + 7)2- x = x2+ 2x - 35 --> 35 = 3x --> x = 35/3
g. log (2x - 3) - log (x + 4) = log (2x + 1) - log
Response: log (2x - 3)/(x + 4) = log (2x + 1)/(x - 9) ---> (2x - 3)/(x + 4) = (2x + 1)/(x - 9) ---> (2x - 3)*(x - 9) = (2x + 1)*(x + 4) ---->
2x2-12x + 27 = 2x2+ 5x + 4 ---> -12x + 27 = 5x + 4 ---> 23 = 17x ---> x = 23/17
