Logarithms and exponentials Flashcards
1
Q
3 laws of logs
A
LOGaX + LOGaY= LOGa(XY)
k LOGaX = LOGa(x^k)
LOGaX - LOGaY= LOGa (X/Y)
2
Q
why is ‘ln e’ equal to 1
A
ln means LOGeE
and the result of LOGeE= 1
and raising anything to a power and getting the same result means that the power was equal to 1
3
Q
how to find X in LOG3,X=4
A
you do 3^4
4
Q
how to find X in LOGX,32=5
A
Find what what you need to put to the power of 5 to achieve 32
2^5=32
5
Q
how to find X in LOG9,27=X
A
CONVERT TO a^x=N 9^X=27--> FIND COMMON FACTOR (3^2X)= (3^3) THERE FORE 2X=3 AND X=3/2
