TUTORIAL 5

Part 1: Logarithmic Equations


Solve for x:

1. log 5 x=4

2. log x
1
( )
27
=−3

3. log ( x +2 )2=2
4. 2 log x+ ¿ log 8 x =6 ¿
Write the following equations without logs:
5. log a+ log b=log c
6. 2 log x=log y
7. 2 log 3 a+1=3 log 3 b−log 3 c
8. log a 3+ log a 5=2−2 log a b

Solve:
9. log ( 2 x+ 1 )−log ( x−1 )=1
10. log 2 ( 1−x )=3−log 2 ( 5+ x )
3
11. 2 log x+ log =log 2 x +
4 ( 3
4 )
12. If log 3 y−log 3 x=1, express x in terms of y

Solve for x:

13. 9 log x 3=log 3 x


14. log 2 x+ 1=6 log x 2

Part 2: Exponential Equations


Solve:
2
1. x 3 =64
2. x−1 + x 0=0
1
3. x +2 x 2 +1=0
4. 3 x =27
5. 22 x−1=8
6. 2 ( 5 )x =50
7. ( 3 x −9 ) ( 3 x −1 ) =0
8. 4 x +2 x =23+ x +2x
9. 5 x +2 .5 x+1=55

Solve for x (Answers correct to 4 decimal places):


10. 3 x =2
11. 2 x+1=3
12. 32 x −5.3 x +6=0
