Evaluating logarithms

Answers and reasoning. Review before teaching.

  1. 1. Evaluate log_5(125).

    3

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

  2. 2. Evaluate log_8(64).

    2

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

  3. 3. Evaluate log_3(243).

    5

    Since 3^5 = 243, log_3(243) = 5.

  4. 4. Evaluate log_2(32).

    5

    Since 2^5 = 32, log_2(32) = 5.

  5. 5. Evaluate log_2(64).

    6

    Since 2^6 = 64, log_2(64) = 6.

  6. 6. Evaluate log_10(100).

    2

    Since 10^2 = 100, log_10(100) = 2.

  7. 7. Evaluate log_5(625).

    4

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

  8. 8. Evaluate log_5(5).

    1

    Since 5^1 = 5, log_5(5) = 1.

  9. 9. Evaluate log_8(512).

    3

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

  10. 10. Evaluate log_2(8).

    3

    Since 2^3 = 8, log_2(8) = 3.

  11. 11. Evaluate log_6(36).

    2

    Since 6^2 = 36, log_6(36) = 2.

  12. 12. Evaluate log_8(8).

    1

    Since 8^1 = 8, log_8(8) = 1.
