Q2 of 54 Page 22

Write the following expressions as log N and find their values.

(i) log2 + log5


(ii) log216 – log22


(iii) 3 log64 4


(iv) 2 log3 – 3 log 2


(v) log 10 + 2 log 3 – log 2

I. log2 + log5


using the property of logarithmic, loga xy = logax + logay


= log(2×5)


= log10


II. log216 – log22


using the property of logarithmic, and


=


= log2 8 = log223


= 3log2 2 []


= 3 [ log2 2 = 1]


III. 3 log64 4


Using the property of logarithmic,


= log6443 


= log64 64


=


IV. 2 log3 - 3 log2


using the property of logarithmic, and


= log32-log23


=


=


V. log 10 + 2 log3 - log2


using the property of logarithmic, loga xy = logax + logay


= log5 + log2 + log32-log2


= log5 + log9


= log(5×9)


= log45
