Applied Math

DPP-11-Logarithm

1. Express 53 = 125 in logarithm form.

Solution:

53 = 125

As we know,

ab = c ⇒ logac=b

Therefore;

Log5125 = 3

2. Express log101 = 0 in exponential form.

Solution:

Given, log101 = 0

By the rule, we know;

logac=b ⇒ ab = c

Hence,

100 = 1

3. Find the log of 32 to the base 4.

Solution: log432 = x

4x = 32

(22)x = 2x2x2x2x2

22x = 25

2x=5
x=5/2

Therefore,

log432 =5/2

4. Find x if log5(x-7)=1.

Solution: Given,

log5(x-7)=1

Using logarithm rules, we can write;

51 = x-7

5 = x-7

x=5+7

x=12

5. If logam=n, express an-1 in terms of a and m.

Solution:

logam=n

an=m

an/a=m/a

an-1=m/a

6. Solve for x if log(x-1)+log(x+1)=log21

Solution: log(x-1)+log(x+1)=log21

log(x-1)+log(x+1)=0

log[(x-1)(x+1)]=0

Since, log 1 = 0

(x-1)(x+1) = 1
x2-1=1

x2=2

x=± √2

Since, log of negative number is not defined.

Therefore, x=√2

7. Express log(75/16)-2log(5/9)+log(32/243) in terms of log 2 and log 3.

Solution: log(75/16)-2log(5/9)+log(32/243)

Since, nlogam=logamn

⇒log(75/16)-log(5/9)2+log(32/243)

⇒log(75/16)-log(25/81)+log(32/243)

Since, logam-logan=loga(m/n)

⇒log[(75/16)÷(25/81)]+log(32/243)

⇒log[(75/16)×(81/25)]+log(32/243)

⇒log(243/16)+log(32/243)

Since, logam+logan=logamn

⇒log(32/16)

⇒log2

8. Express 2logx+3logy=log a in logarithm free form.

Solution: 2logx+3logy=log a

logx2+logy3=log a [By logarithm rule: logab = b log a]

log(x2y3)=log a [By logarithm rule: log a + log b = log (ab) ]

x2y3 = a [If logma = logmb, then a = b]

9. Prove that: 2log(15/18)-log(25/162)+log(4/9)=log2

Solution: 2log(15/18)-log(25/162)+log(4/9)=log2

Taking L.H.S.:

⇒2log(15/18)-log(25/162)+log(4/9)

⇒log(15/18)2-log(25/162)+log(4/9)

⇒log(225/324)-log(25/162)+log(4/9)

⇒log[(225/324)(4/9)]-log(25/162)

⇒log[(225/324)(4/9)]/(25/162)

⇒log(72/36)

⇒log2 (R.H.S)

10. Express log10(2) + 1 in the form of log10x.


Solution: log10(2)+1

=log102+log1010 [Since, 1 = log1010 ]

=log10(2 x 10) [log10 a + log10 b = log10 ab]

=log1020

11. Find the value of x, if log10(x-10)=1.

Solution: Given, log10(x-10)=1.

log10(x-10) = log1010

x-10 = 10

x=10+10

x=20

12. Find the value of x, if log(x+5)+log(x-5)=4log2+2log3

Solution: Given,

log(x+5)+log(x-5)=4log2+2log3

log(x+5)(x-5) = 4log2+2log3 [log mn=log m+log n]

log(x2-25) = log24+log32

log(x2-25) = log16+log9

log(x2-25)=log(16×9)

log(x2-25)=log144

x2-25=144

x2=169

x=±√169

x=±13

13. Solve for x, if (log 225/log15) = log x

Solution: log x = (log 225/log15)

log x=[log(15×15)/log15]

log x = log 152/log 15

log x = 2log 15/log 15


log x = 2

Or

log10x=2

102=x

x=10×10

x=100
