Evaluating logarithms

Answers and reasoning. Review before teaching.

  1. 1. Evaluate log_2(2).

    1

    Since 2^1 = 2, log_2(2) = 1.

  2. 2. Evaluate log_9(6561).

    4

    Since 9^4 = 6561, log_9(6561) = 4.

  3. 3. Evaluate log_6(1296).

    4

    Since 6^4 = 1296, log_6(1296) = 4.

  4. 4. Evaluate log_3(81).

    4

    Since 3^4 = 81, log_3(81) = 4.

  5. 5. Evaluate log_7(2401).

    4

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

  6. 6. Evaluate log_7(7).

    1

    Since 7^1 = 7, log_7(7) = 1.

  7. 7. Evaluate log_9(729).

    3

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

  8. 8. Evaluate log_10(10000).

    4

    Since 10^4 = 10000, log_10(10000) = 4.

  9. 9. Evaluate log_5(125).

    3

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

  10. 10. Evaluate log_5(625).

    4

    Since 5^4 = 625, log_5(625) = 4.

  11. 11. Evaluate log_9(81).

    2

    Since 9^2 = 81, log_9(81) = 2.

  12. 12. Evaluate log_5(25).

    2

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