Evaluating logarithms

Answers and reasoning. Review before teaching.

  1. 1. Evaluate log_9(729).

    3

    Since 9^3 = 729, log_9(729) = 3.

  2. 2. Evaluate log_5(125).

    3

    Since 5^3 = 125, log_5(125) = 3.

  3. 3. Evaluate log_7(2401).

    4

    Since 7^4 = 2401, log_7(2401) = 4.

  4. 4. Evaluate log_6(216).

    3

    Since 6^3 = 216, log_6(216) = 3.

  5. 5. Evaluate log_10(1000).

    3

    Since 10^3 = 1000, log_10(1000) = 3.

  6. 6. Evaluate log_8(512).

    3

    Since 8^3 = 512, log_8(512) = 3.

  7. 7. Evaluate log_4(4).

    1

    Since 4^1 = 4, log_4(4) = 1.

  8. 8. Evaluate log_4(64).

    3

    Since 4^3 = 64, log_4(64) = 3.

  9. 9. Evaluate log_4(16).

    2

    Since 4^2 = 16, log_4(16) = 2.

  10. 10. Evaluate log_3(9).

    2

    Since 3^2 = 9, log_3(9) = 2.

  11. 11. Evaluate log_8(64).

    2

    Since 8^2 = 64, log_8(64) = 2.

  12. 12. Evaluate log_5(25).

    2

    Since 5^2 = 25, log_5(25) = 2.
