Math Problem Statement

Solve various logarithmic problems including expressing in logarithmic form, finding logarithmic values, and simplifying expressions.

Solution

Let's go through the problems related to logarithms in the image step-by-step. The document is divided into three main sections. I'll address each question:


1. Express in logarithmic form:

A. 34=813^4 = 81

  • Logarithmic form: log381=4\log_3 81 = 4

B. 2=212\sqrt{2} = 2^{\frac{1}{2}}

  • Logarithmic form: log22=12\log_2 \sqrt{2} = \frac{1}{2}

C. 0.001=1030.001 = 10^{-3}

  • Logarithmic form: log100.001=3\log_{10} 0.001 = -3

2. Find the logarithmic values:

A. 2log32{}^2\log 32

  • This means log232\log_2 32. Since 25=322^5 = 32, we get: log232=5\log_2 32 = 5

B. 3log33{}^3\log 3\sqrt{3}

  • This is log3(33)\log_3 (3\sqrt{3}), which simplifies to: log33+log33=1+12=1.5\log_3 3 + \log_3 \sqrt{3} = 1 + \frac{1}{2} = 1.5

C. 2log122{}^2\log \frac{1}{2}\sqrt{2}

  • This becomes log2(122)\log_2 \left(\frac{1}{2}\sqrt{2}\right), which can be split as: log2(12×21/2)=log2(21×21/2)\log_2 \left( \frac{1}{2} \times 2^{1/2} \right) = \log_2 \left( 2^{-1} \times 2^{1/2} \right) Using the logarithmic property: log2(21)+log2(21/2)=1+12=12\log_2 (2^{-1}) + \log_2 (2^{1/2}) = -1 + \frac{1}{2} = -\frac{1}{2}

3. Simplify:

A. 2log4+2log8{}^2\log 4 + {}^2\log 8

  • This is log24+log28\log_2 4 + \log_2 8, which becomes: log2(4×8)=log232=5\log_2 (4 \times 8) = \log_2 32 = 5

B. 3log19+3log81{}^3\log \frac{1}{9} + {}^3\log 81

  • This becomes log319+log381\log_3 \frac{1}{9} + \log_3 81, which simplifies to: log3(19×81)=log39=2\log_3 \left( \frac{1}{9} \times 81 \right) = \log_3 9 = 2

C. 2log22+2log42{}^2\log 2\sqrt{2} + {}^2\log 4\sqrt{2}

  • Simplifies to: log2(22)+log2(42)=log2(22×42)=log232=5\log_2 (2\sqrt{2}) + \log_2 (4\sqrt{2}) = \log_2 (2\sqrt{2} \times 4\sqrt{2}) = \log_2 32 = 5

D. log1,000log100\log 1,000 - \log 100

  • This is log1,000log100=log(1,000100)=log10=1\log 1,000 - \log 100 = \log \left( \frac{1,000}{100} \right) = \log 10 = 1

E. 3log183log6{}^3\log 18 - {}^3\log 6

  • This becomes log3(186)=log33=1\log_3 \left( \frac{18}{6} \right) = \log_3 3 = 1

F. 3log7×7log81{}^3\log 7 \times {}^7\log 81

  • This involves multiple bases and requires further steps, but for now: 3log7×7log81=log37×log781{}^3\log 7 \times {}^7\log 81 = \log_3 7 \times \log_7 81 Use the change of base formula to simplify further.

G. If 3log5=a, calculate 255log27\text{If } {}^3\log 5 = a, \text{ calculate } 25 {}^{5}\log 27

  • This needs further calculation based on values of aa and logarithmic properties.
