Express the equations in logarithmic form a 43 64 b103 000
Express the equations in logarithmic form.
(a) 43 = 64
(b)103 = 0.001
(c) ex = 7
(d) e9 = y
Solution
a)43=64
take logarithm on both sides
log(43)=log(64)
3 log(4)=log(64)
b)10-3=0.001
take logarithm on both sides
log(10-3)=log(0.001)
-3log(10)=log(0.001)
log(0.001)=-3
c)ex=7
take natural logarithm on both sides
ln(ex)=ln(7)
xln(e)=ln(7)
x=ln(7)
d)e9=y
take natural logarithm on both sides
ln(e9)=ln(y)
ln(y)=9ln(e)
ln(y)=9
