Card 1Exponential and logarithmic form

Solve: 3^4 = 81. Write the same relation in logarithmic form.

Answer

Step 1: Use the equivalence a^b = c ⇔ log_a c = b. Step 2: Here, a = 3, b = 4, and c = 81. Step 3: So, log_3 81 = 4. Answer: log_3 81 = 4

Card 2Exponential and logarithmic form

Convert to exponential form: log_2 0.125 = -3

Answer

Step 1: Use the equivalence log_a c = b ⇔ a^b = c. Step 2: Here, a = 2, b = -3, and c = 0.125. Step 3: So, 2^-3 = 0.125. Answer: 2^-3 = 0.125

Card 3Common logarithms

Find: log_10 1000

Answer

Step 1: Write 1000 as a power of 10. Step 2: 1000 = 10^3. Step 3: So, log_10 1000 = 3. Check: 10^3 = 1000. Answer: 3

Card 4Logarithms with negative powers

Find: log_3(1/9)

Answer

Step 1: Write 1/9 as a power of 3. Step 2: 1/9 = 3^-2. Step 3: So, log_3(1/9) = -2. Check: 3^-2 = 1/9. Answer: -2

Card 5Solving simple logarithmic equations

Find x: log_2 x = -2

Answer

Step 1: Convert to exponential form. Step 2: 2^-2 = x. Step 3: Evaluate 2^-2 = 1/4. Answer: x = 1/4

Card 6Solving logarithmic equations

Find x: log_4(x + 3) = 2

Answer

Step 1: Convert to exponential form. Step 2: 4^2 = x + 3. Step 3: 4^2 = 16, so x + 3 = 16. Step 4: x = 16 - 3 = 13. Answer: x = 13

Card 7Product Law

When do you use the Product Law? Apply it to log_5(2 × 3).

Answer

Use the Product Law when the log is of a product. Formula: log_a(m × n) = log_a m + log_a n. Apply it here: log_5(2 × 3) = log_5 2 + log_5 3. This is valid because the expression is a product, not a s

Card 8Product Law

Expand: log_a(m × n × p)

Answer

Step 1: Use the Product Law again and again. Step 2: log_a(m × n × p) = log_a m + log_a n + log_a p. Step 3: Each factor becomes a separate log term. Answer: log_a m + log_a n + log_a p
