How do I solve the equation e to the power of x equals 2 using logarithms?
When the logarithm is taken of any number to a power the result is that power times the log of the number; so taking logs of both sides gives: e^x = 2 → log(e^x) = log 2 → x log e = log 2 Dividing both sides by log e gives: x = (log 2)/(log e) The value of the logarithm of the base when taken to that base is 1. The logarithms can be taken to any base you like, however, if the base is e (natural logs, written as ln), then ln e = 1 which gives x = (ln 2)/1 = ln 2 This is in fact the definition of a logarithm: the logarithm to a specific base of a number is the power of the base which equals that number. In this case ln 2 is the number x such that e^x = 2. ---------------------------------------------------- This also means that you can calculate logs to any base if you can find logs to a specific base: log (b^x) = y → x log b = log y → x = (log y)/(log b) In other words, the log of a number to a given base, is the log of that number using any [second] base you like divided by the log of the base to the same [second] base. eg log₂ 8 = ln 8 / ln 2 = 2.7094... / 0.6931... = 3 since log₂ 8 = 3 it means 2³ = 8 (which is true).
Which logarithm is equivalent to log base 3 16 - log base 3 2?
log316 - log32 = log38
Log base 3 of 81 plus log base 3 of 81?
Log base 3 of 81 is equal to 4, because 3 ^ 4 = 81. Therefore, two times log base 3 of 81 is equal to 2 x 4 = 8.
What does log in algebra mean?
The log or logarithm is the power to which ten needs to be raised to equal a number. Log 10=1 because 10^1=10 Log 100=2 because 10^2=100 Sometimes we use different bases. Like base 2. Then it is what 2 is raised by to get the number. Log "base 2" 8=3 because 2^3=8
What is x if 2 to the x power equals 0.5?
2x = 0.5: This is like asking for the logarithm of 0.5, to the base 2. A scientific calculator normally has logarithms for base 10 and base e, but not for other bases. However, you can calculate this is log(0.5) / log(2). It doesn't matter what base you use for your logarithms, just keep it consistent. For example, with base 10, log(0.5) / log(2) = -0.301 / 0.301 = -1.
Suppose aneq 0. Compute log 2a 2b in terms of a and b.?
Due to the rubbish browser that we are compelled to use, it is not possible to use any super or subscripts so here goes, with things spelled out in detail: log to base 2a of 2b = log to base a of 2b/log to base a of 2a = [(log to base a of 2) + (log to base a of b)] / [(log to base a of 2) + (log to base a of a)] = [(log to base a of 2) + (log to base a of b)] / [(log to base a of 2) + 1]
What is log 100 base e?
log 100 base e = log 100 base 10 / log e base 10 log 100 base 10 = 10g 10^2 base 10 = 2 log 10 base 10 = 2 log e base 10 = 0.434294 (calculator) log 100 base e = 2/0.434294 = 4.605175
How do you solve log base 2 of x - 3 log base 2 of 5 equals 2 log base 2 of 10?
[log2 (x - 3)](log2 5) = 2log2 10 log2 (x - 3) = 2log2 10/log2 5 log2 (x - 3) = 2(log 10/log 2)/(log5/log 2) log2 (x - 3) = 2(log 10/log 5) log2 (x - 3) = 2(1/log 5) log2 (x - 3) = 2/log 5 x - 3 = 22/log x = 3 + 22/log 5

What is the value of n if 2 to the power of n equals 20000?
2ⁿ = 20000 → log(2ⁿ) = log(20000) → n log(2) = log(20000) → n = log(20000)/log(2) You can use logs to any base you like as long as you use the same base for each log → n ≈ 14.29
What is log base 3 of (x plus 1) log base 2 of (x-1)?
The browser which is used for posting questions is almost totally useless for mathematical questions since it blocks most symbols.I am assuming that your question is about log base 3 of (x plus 1) plus log base 2 of (x-1).{log[(x + 1)^log2} + {log[(x - 1)^log3}/log(3^log2) where all the logs are to the same base - whichever you want. The denominator can also be written as log(3^log2)This can be simplified (?) to log{[(x + 1)^log2*(x - 1)^log3}/log(3^log2).As mentioned above, the expression can be to any base and so the expression becomesin base 2: log{[(x + 1)*(x - 1)^log3}/log(3) andin base 3: log{[(x + 1)^log2*(x - 1)}/log(2)
What is the inverse log of 2?
inverse log of 2= 1/(log{10}2)= 1/(log2)=1/0.3010299=3.3219. hence answer is 3.3219
What are the rules when squaring a log squaring the whole log?
this is the question (log (base2) (x))^2- 12(log (base 2) (x)) + 32 = 0, I don't get this bit (log (base2) (x))^2, note the whole log is squared
How do you calculate the exponent y if the base is 2 and the answer is 50?
If 2y = 50 then y*log(2) = log(50) so that y = log(50)/log(2) = 5.6439 (approx). NB: The logarithms can be taken to any base >1.
Which logarithm is equivalent to log base 3 16 - log base 3 2?
log316 - log32 = log38
What is the logarithm of log -1?
Assuming you are asking about the natural logarithms (base e):log (-1) = i x pithereforelog (log -1) = log (i x pi) = log i + log pi = (pi/2)i + log pi which is approximately 1.14472989 + 1.57079633 i
Log base 3 of 81 plus log base 3 of 81?
Log base 3 of 81 is equal to 4, because 3 ^ 4 = 81. Therefore, two times log base 3 of 81 is equal to 2 x 4 = 8.
