Math Problem Statement

Solve logarithmic expressions and rewrite logarithms into exponential form to solve for x.

Solution

Let's solve these problems from the image step by step.

Problem 6:

We are using the logarithmic property alogb=ba^{\log_b} = b.

For each expression:

  • a. 100log8100^{\log_8}
  • b. 3232
  • c. 255log8+648log525^{5 \log_8} + 64^{8 \log_5}
  • d. 42log7=82log2+3log54^{2 \log_7} = 8^{2 \log_2 + 3 \log_5}

Solution approach:

For a and c, simplify using alogb=ba^{\log_b} = b and for others, apply log properties.

Problem 7:

Apply logarithmic properties to simplify each expression:

  • a. 12log128+2log927log46log13\frac{1}{2} \log 128 + 2 \log 9 - 27 \log 4 - 6 \log \frac{1}{3}
  • b. 3log192log8+28log2719log133 \log \frac{1}{9} - 2 \log 8 + 2^{8 \log 27} - \frac{1}{9} \log \frac{1}{3}

Solution approach:

  • Use the power rule, product rule, and quotient rule of logarithms to simplify the expressions.

Problem 8:

Rewrite the logarithmic expressions into exponential form and solve for xx.

  • a. 2logx=32 \log x = 3
  • b. 3log(2x+1)=23 \log (2x + 1) = 2
  • c. 14log(6x5)=1\frac{1}{4} \log (6x - 5) = -1

Solution approach:

  1. Convert each equation to exponential form using logb(x)=yx=by\log_b (x) = y \Rightarrow x = b^y.
  2. Solve for xx.
