Solution of exercise 2

Apply the definition of logarithms and calculate the value of x:

1   

Convert the above logarithmic equation into the exponential form like this:

Since 2 raised to the power 5 is equal to 32, so we can write the equation as:

2   

Convert the above logarithmic equation into the exponential form like this:

Since 3 raised to the power 2 is equal to 9 and the fraction is equal to the negative power in the numerator, so we can write the expression as:

3   

Convert the equation into exponential form like this:

Hence,

4 

Convert the logarithmic form into an exponential form like this:

Since 3 raised to the power 2 is equal to 9 and the radical can be written in fractional exponential form, so the expression will be:

Hence,

The formula in the numerator can be written as the product of two factors like this:

Applying the logarithm quotient rule here, we will get the following expression:

3         

The above expression can be written as follows after applying the logarithm product rule:

Solution of exercise 5

Remember that if you are asked to write the answers in numbers, then you can use your calculators to compute the final value of the variable. On the other hand, if you are asked to simplify the expression, you can simply apply the logarithm rules and write the simplified form of the expression.

In these exercises, we are asked to compute the value of , so we have to write the answer in digits.

Using logarithms, calculate the value of x.

1         

Take log on both sides of the equation. The resultant equation will be like this:

Calculate the antilogarithm.

2     

Take log on both sides of the equation to get the following expression:

Apply the logarithm quotient rule here:

Take anti -log here:

3       

Take log on both sides of the equation to get the following expression:

Apply the logarithm quotient rule here to get the following expression:

Take anti log here to isolate the variable on the left hand side of the equation:
