  1. a. raising to a power and logarithms are inverses of each other and since 2log...etc can be written as log[3](5)^2, the answer is 5^2 or 25.

    b. log[10](10) cancel out due to inverse again so it's just 1/2

    c. Well it can be rewritten as log[10](1) - log[10]10^x

    the latter can be canceled to be log[10](1) - x

    d. move your coefficients over so that its now log[10] (√x)^2 + log[10] (x^(1/9))

    This simplifies to log[10] (x) + log[10] (x^1/9)

    Then multiply out because of one of the log properties

    log[10] x*x^1/9

    Then that equals log[10] (x^2/9)   for your final answer.


  2. Question a)

    log is log to base 3

    y = 3^(2 log 5)

    log y = 2 log 5

    log y = log 5²

    y = 5²

    y = 25

    Question b)

    log is log to base 10

    y = log 10^(1/2)

    y = (1/2) log 10

    y = 1/2

    Question c)

    log is log to base 10

    y = log (1 / 10^x)

    y = log ( 10^(-x) )

    y = - x log 10

    y = - x

    Question d)

    log is log to base 10

    y = 2 log x^(1/2) + 3 log x^(1/3)

    y = log x + log x

    y = 2 log x

    y = log x²

  3. a. 3^(2log[3](5))=3^(log[3](5²))=5²=25

    b. log[10](10^(1/2))=1/2

    c. log[10](1/10^x)=-log[10](10^x)=-x

    d. 2log[10](√x)+3log[10](x^(1/3))

    =2.1/2log[10](x)+3.1/3log[10](x)

    =log[10](x)+log[10](x)

    =2log[10](x)

  4. a. 2log[3](5) = 10log [3] = log[3^10]

    3^(log[3^10])

    b. log[10] = 1

        1(10^(1/2)) = sqr. root of 10

    c. log[10] = 1. 1 (1/10^x) = (1/10^x)

    d. 2log[10] = 2. 3log[10] = 3.

         2(x^(1/2)) + 3(x^(1/3))
