Example Question #3091 : Algebra Ii
Solve
First, let's change the equation to exponent form:
Then simplify:
And solve:
Both answers are valid because
in the original equation is squared, so any negative numbers don't cause the logarithm to become negative.Example Question #41 : Solving And Graphing Logarithms
Solve
We can start by getting both the log terms on the same side of the equation:
Then we combine log terms:
Now we can change to exponent form:
Anything raised to the
th power equals , and from here it becomes a simpler problem to solve:
Example Question #3091 : Algebra Ii
Solve
First we're going to get all the natural logs on one side of the equation:
Next, we're going to combine all the terms into one natural log:
Now we can change to exponent form:
Anything raised to the
th power equals , which helps us simplify:
From here, we can factor and solve:
We have to notice, however, that
isn't a valid answer because if we were to plug it into the original formula we would have a negative value in a logarithm.Example Question #3097 : Algebra Ii
Solve
.
The first thing we can do is write the coefficients in front of the logs as exponents of the terms inside the logs:
Next, we combine the logs:
Now we can change the equation into exponent form:
When we simplify, we'll also move all the terms to one side of the equation:
From here, we factor to get our solutions:
The last thing we have to do is check our answers.
doesn't raise any problems, but does. If we plug it back into the original equation, we would be evaluating a negative value in a log, which we can't do.Example Question #51 : Solving Logarithms
Solve:
In order to solve for the logs, we will need to write the log properties as follows:
and
This means that:
Replace the values into the expression.
The answer is:
Example Question #3099 : Algebra Ii
Solve
First, we rewrite the equation as:
We can use log properties to simplify:
From here, simple algebra is used to solve:
Example Question #52 : Solving And Graphing Logarithms
Solve
.
First we divide both sides of the equation by
:
Next, we write the equation in exponential form:
Then we solve for
by taking the cube root, and then squaring :
Example Question #53 : Solving And Graphing Logarithms
Solve
.
First we can divide each side by
:
Next, we rewrite in exponent form:
From here, we simply take the square root of
, and then subtract :
Example Question #52 : Solving Logarithms
Solve
First we rewrite the equation in exponential form:
Now we take the cube root of
:
Example Question #53 : Solving Logarithms
Solve
.
First we subtract
from both sides:
Then we divide both sides by
:
Now it would help if we wrote the equation in exponential form (remember, if the log doesn't show a base, it's base 10):
Finally, we use algebra to solve:
