Practice With Logarithms

1. Write the exponential equation 2 n = 5.7 in logarithmic form. _________________________

2. Write the logarithmic equation log z t = m in exponential form. _________________________

3. Find the exact value of each logarithm without a calculator.

a. log 8 1 = b. log 9 9 = c. log 5 25 =

⎛ 1⎞
d. log 3 ⎜ ⎟ = e. log 8 2 = f. log 5 3 25 =
⎝ 9⎠

g. log 3 371 = h. 8 log8 100 = i. log 6 9 + log 6 4 =

4. Examples of the Properties of Logarithms

Determine whether each equation below is TRUE or FALSE. If FALSE, rewrite the equation to make it TRUE
and rewrite the TRUE statement.
1. log(3) + log(7) = log(21) 2. log(5) + log(3) = log(8)

______________________________ ______________________________

3. log(16) = 4 ⋅ log(2) 4. log(5) − log(2) = log(2.5)

______________________________ ______________________________

⎛ 7⎞
5. log(9) − log(3) = log(6) 6. log( 7) = log ⎜ ⎟
⎝ 2⎠

______________________________ ______________________________

⎛1⎞
7. log(35) = 5 ⋅log ( 7) 8. log ⎜ ⎟ = − log ( 4 )
⎝4⎠

______________________________ ______________________________

log(3) 3
9. log(3) − log(4) = 10. log (64 ) = ⋅ log (16 )
log(4 ) 2
