Math Problem Statement

Find the value of the following logarithmic expressions: log 10 and ln e^3.

Solution

Let's solve the two logarithmic expressions shown in the image:

  1. log 10: This is a base-10 logarithm. When no base is specified in a logarithmic expression, the base is assumed to be 10.

    Using the logarithmic rule: logb(bx)=x\log_b(b^x) = x Since log10(10)\log_{10}(10), the base and the number are both 10, the result is: log10=1\log 10 = 1

  2. ln e3e^3: The natural logarithm (ln) is the logarithm to the base ee. Using the property: ln(ex)=x\ln(e^x) = x Since e3e^3 is the input, the result is: ln(e3)=3\ln(e^3) = 3

Final answers:

  1. log10=1\log 10 = 1
  2. lne3=3\ln e^3 = 3

  2. How do you simplify ln(e2x)\ln(e^{2x})?
  3. What is the result of logb(bx)\log_b(b^x) in general form?
  4. How do you solve log2(8)\log_2(8)?
  5. What is the base of the natural logarithm?

Tip: Remember, the logarithmic and exponential functions are inverses of each other. This makes simplifying expressions involving ln\ln and log\log straightforward when their bases match!
