If a^x = n, where a is a positive real number other than 1 and x is a rational number then logarithm is defined as, logarithm of n to the base a is x. Then is written as log n base a = x.

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]


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).


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 inverse log of 2?

inverse log of 2= 1/(log{10}2)= 1/(log2)=1/0.3010299=3.3219. hence answer is 3.3219


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.

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 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
