Math Problem Statement

Solve the following logarithmic problems: 1. p = 3^log(1/25) * 8^log 27 * 5^log 16 2. Evaluate 4^(2log5) + 9^(3log(1/3)) - 32log2 3. Given log_5 3 = a and log_2 5 = b, determine the value of log_36 80.

Solution

Let's break down and solve each problem one by one:

Problem 13:

Given: p=3log(125)8log275log16p = 3^{\log \left( \frac{1}{25} \right)} \cdot 8^{\log 27} \cdot 5^{\log 16} We can solve this by using the property of logarithms: alogb=blogaa^{\log b} = b^{\log a} Thus, we can rearrange and simplify each part:

  1. 3log(125)=(125)log3=(25)log33^{\log \left( \frac{1}{25} \right)} = \left( \frac{1}{25} \right)^{\log 3} = \left( 25 \right)^{-\log 3}
  2. 8log27=27log88^{\log 27} = 27^{\log 8}
  3. 5log16=16log55^{\log 16} = 16^{\log 5}

Now, the expression for pp becomes: p=(25log3)27log816log5p = \left( 25^{-\log 3} \right) \cdot 27^{\log 8} \cdot 16^{\log 5} We can calculate the numerical values by finding these logs: p=(52)log3(33)log8(24)log5p = \left( 5^2 \right)^{-\log 3} \cdot \left( 3^3 \right)^{\log 8} \cdot \left( 2^4 \right)^{\log 5} Substitute and simplify further for an exact value.

Problem 14:

42log5+93log1332log24^{2\log 5} + 9^{3\log \frac{1}{3}} - 32^{\log 2} We again use the logarithmic property alogb=blogaa^{\log b} = b^{\log a}.

  1. 42log5=(52)log4=25log44^{2\log 5} = (5^2)^{\log 4} = 25^{\log 4}
  2. 93log13=(133)log9=(127)log99^{3\log \frac{1}{3}} = \left( \frac{1}{3}^3 \right)^{\log 9} = \left( \frac{1}{27} \right)^{\log 9}
  3. 32log2=(25)log32=32log232^{\log 2} = (2^5)^{\log 32} = 32^{\log 2}

Now compute the expression step-by-step.

Problem 15:

Given: log53=aandlog25=b\log_5 3 = a \quad \text{and} \quad \log_2 5 = b We need to find log3680\log_{36} 80. Using the change of base formula: log3680=log80log36\log_{36} 80 = \frac{\log 80}{\log 36} Expand using logarithmic identities and substitutions for aa and bb.
