1. Answer :

Convert it to exponential form.

2. Answer :

Convert it to exponential form.

3. Answer :

log_z8√2 = 7

Convert it to exponential form. 

125√5 = z⁷

 2 ⋅ 2 ⋅ 2 ⋅ √2 = x⁷

Each 2 can be expressed as (√2 ⋅ √2).

Then,

√2 ⋅ √2 ⋅ √2 ⋅ √2 ⋅ √2 ⋅ √2 ⋅ √2 = x⁷

√2⁷ = x⁷

Because the exponents are equal, bases can be equated. 

x = √2

4. Answer :

-3 = log_k0.001

Convert it to exponential form. 

k^-3 = 0.001

Take reciprocal on both sides. 

k³ = 1000 

k³ = 10³

Because the exponents are equal, bases can be equated. 

k = 10

5. Answer :

log₅[5log₃(x)] = 2

Convert it to exponential form. 

5log₃(x) = 5²

5log₃(x) = 25

Divide both sides by 5.

log₃(x) = 5

Convert it to exponential form. 

x = 3⁵

x = 243

6. Answer :

m + 2log₂₇(9) = 0

m = -2log₂₇(9)

x = log₂₇(9^-2)

Convert it to exponential form. 

27^x = 9^-2

(3³)^x = (3²)^-2

3^3x = 3^-4

Because the bases are equal, exponents can be equated. 

3x = -4

7. Answer :

2log(y) = 4log(3)

Divide each side by 2.

log(y) = 2log(3)

log(y) = log(3²)

log(y) = log(9)

y = 9

8. Answer :

From the information given, we have

3p = log₉(0.3)

Solve for p.

9. Answer :

7r - 4 = 5(r + 2)

7r - 4 = 5r + 10

2r - 4 = 10

2r = 14

r = 7

10. Answer :

q = 3¹

q = 3

11. Answer :

log₄(v + 4) + log₄8 = 2

log₄[8(v + 4)] = 2

log₄(8v + 32) = 2

8v + 32 = 4²

8v + 32 = 16

8v = -16

v = -2

12. Answer :

log₆(w + 4) - log₆(w - 1) = 1

w + 4 = 6(w - 1)

w + 4 = 6w - 6

-5w + 4 = -6

-5w = -10

w = 2

13. Answer :

log₂(g) = 1

g = 2¹

g = 2

14. Answer :

81^√x = log₂(512)

81^√x = log₂(2⁹)

81^√x = 9log₂(2)

(9²)^√x = 9(1)

9^2√x = 9¹

2√x = 1
