Example Question #1 : Exponential And Logarithmic Functions
Example Question #2 : Solving Logarithms
What is ?
Recall that by definition a logarithm is the inverse of the exponential function. Thus, our logarithm corresponds to the value of in the equation:
.
We know that and thus our answer is
.
Example Question #1 : Properties Of Logarithms
Solve for :
The correct solution set is not included among the other choices.
The correct solution set is not included among the other choices.
FOIL:
These are our possible solutions. However, we need to test them.
:
The equation becomes . This is true, so
is a solution.
:
However, negative numbers do not have logarithms, so this equation is meaningless. is not a solution, and
is the one and only solution. Since this is not one of our choices, the correct response is "The correct solution set is not included among the other choices."
