Evaluate the expression Simplify your answer completely a lo

Evaluate the expression. (Simplify your answer completely) a. log_2(32) b. log_9 (9^16) c. log_8(1) Evaluate the expression. (Simplify your answer completely) log_3 (1/2 + 3)

Solution

Use the property : loga(b^x) = xloga(b)

log2(32) = log2(2^5)

= log2^5/log2

= 5 log2/log2

= 5

log8(1) = log(1)/log8 = 0
