What is the value of (log_{10} 100)?

  1. 1

  2. 2

  3. 10

  4. 100


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Using the logarithmic property (log_{b} b^n = n), we have (log_{10} 100 = log_{10} (10^2) = 2).

Solve the equation (log_2 (x + 3) = 5).

  2. (x = 31)

  3. (x = 33)

  4. (x = 35)


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Rewrite the equation as (2^5 = x + 3), then solve for (x) to get (x = 31).

Simplify the expression (log_a (a^3 b^2)).

  1. (3 log_a a + 2 log_a b)

  2. (3 + 2 log_a b)

  3. (log_a a^3 + log_a b^2)

Explanation:

Using the logarithmic property (log_b (b^n) = n), we have (log_a (a^3 b^2) = log_a a^3 + log_a b^2 = 3 log_a a + 2 log_a b = 3 + 2 log_a b).

Find the value of (log_5 (1/125)).

  1. (-3)

  2. (-2)

  3. (-1)

  4. (0)


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Using the logarithmic property (log_b (1/a) = - log_b a), we have (log_5 (1/125) = log_5 (5^{-3}) = -3).

Explanation:

Rewrite the equation as (3^2 = 2x - 1), then solve for (x) to get (x = 5).

Simplify the expression (log_a (a^2 b^3 c^4)).

  1. (2 log_a a + 3 log_a b + 4 log_a c)

  2. (2 + 3 log_a b + 4 log_a c)

  3. (log_a a^2 + log_a b^3 + log_a c^4)

  4. (2 log_a a b^3 c^4)


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Using the logarithmic property (log_b (b^n) = n), we have (log_a (a^2 b^3 c^4) = log_a a^2 + log_a b^3 + log_a c^4 = 2 log_a a + 3 log_a b + 4 log_a c = 2 + 3 log_a b + 4 log_a c).

Find the value of (log_2 (1/16)).

  1. (-4)

  2. (-3)

  3. (-2)

  4. (-1)


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Using the logarithmic property (log_b (1/a) = - log_b a), we have (log_2 (1/16) = log_2 (2^{-4}) = -4).

Which of the following is equivalent to (log_a (b^2 / c^3))?

  1. (2 log_a b - 3 log_a c)

  2. (2 log_a b + 3 log_a c)

  3. (log_a b^2 - log_a c^3)

  4. (log_a b^2 / log_a c^3)


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Using the logarithmic property (log_b (a/c) = log_b a - log_b c), we have (log_a (b^2 / c^3) = log_a b^2 - log_a c^3 = 2 log_a b - 3 log_a c).

Solve the equation (log_4 (3x + 2) = 3).

  1. (x = 6)

  2. (x = 7)

  3. (x = 8)
