Math Problem Statement

Simplify and solve logarithmic and exponential expressions provided in the image, including division of exponents, multiplication of powers, and logarithmic calculations.

Solution

Let's go through each problem in the image you uploaded and provide the solutions:


1. Simplify the division 216214\frac{2^{16}}{2^{14}}

Using the property of exponents, aman=amn\frac{a^m}{a^n} = a^{m-n}, we can simplify the expression:

216214=21614=22=4\frac{2^{16}}{2^{14}} = 2^{16-14} = 2^2 = 4

So, the answer is 4\boxed{4}.


2. Simplify 373336343^7 \cdot 3^3 \cdot 3^{-6} \cdot 3^4

Using the property of exponents, aman=am+na^m \cdot a^n = a^{m+n}, we can combine all the terms:

37333634=37+3+(6)+4=383^7 \cdot 3^3 \cdot 3^{-6} \cdot 3^4 = 3^{7+3+(-6)+4} = 3^8

So, the answer is 38\boxed{3^8}.


3. Simplify 242842124\sqrt[4]{2} \cdot \sqrt[4]{2^8} \cdot \sqrt[4]{2^{-12}}

We convert the roots into exponent form. Recall that amn=am/n\sqrt[n]{a^m} = a^{m/n}:

[ \sqrt[4]{2} = 2^{\frac{1}{4}}, \quad \sqrt[4]{2^8} = 2^{\frac{8}{4}} = 2^2, \quad \sqrt[4]{2^{-12}} = 2^{\frac{-12}{4}} = 2^{-3} ]

Now, we combine the exponents using aman=am+na^m \cdot a^n = a^{m+n}:

2142223=214+23=2141=2342^{\frac{1}{4}} \cdot 2^2 \cdot 2^{-3} = 2^{\frac{1}{4} + 2 - 3} = 2^{\frac{1}{4} - 1} = 2^{-\frac{3}{4}}

So, the answer is 234\boxed{2^{-\frac{3}{4}}}.


4. Calculate 4log2564 \log 256

Using the logarithmic property alogb=logbaa \log b = \log b^a, we can simplify:

4log256=log25644 \log 256 = \log 256^4

Since 256=28256 = 2^8, we can rewrite this as:

log(28)4=log232\log (2^8)^4 = \log 2^{32}

Now using logab=bloga\log a^b = b \log a, we get:

log232=32log2\log 2^{32} = 32 \log 2

If the base of the logarithm is 2, then log22=1\log_2 2 = 1, so the answer is:

32\boxed{32}


5. Simplify 2842\sqrt[4]{2^8} \cdot \sqrt{2}

We convert the roots into exponent form. Recall that amn=am/n\sqrt[n]{a^m} = a^{m/n} and a=a1/2\sqrt{a} = a^{1/2}:

284=284=22,2=212\sqrt[4]{2^8} = 2^{\frac{8}{4}} = 2^2, \quad \sqrt{2} = 2^{\frac{1}{2}}

Now, we combine the exponents:

22212=22+12=2522^2 \cdot 2^{\frac{1}{2}} = 2^{2 + \frac{1}{2}} = 2^{\frac{5}{2}}

So, the answer is 252\boxed{2^{\frac{5}{2}}}.


6. Calculate 5log575 \log 5^7

Using the logarithmic property logab=bloga\log a^b = b \log a, we simplify:

5log57=57log5=35log55 \log 5^7 = 5 \cdot 7 \log 5 = 35 \log 5

If the base of the logarithm is 5, then log55=1\log_5 5 = 1, so the answer is:

35\boxed{35}
