a)
i)
We can rearrange logarithms using indices.
logba=c⟺a=bc
Using this equivalence we can rewrite log5x=3.
x=53=125
b)
i)
We can use the equivalence to rewrite our equation.
logba=c⟺a=bc
We can write out our values to makes it easier.
a=xb=2c=y+5
Then we can write out our equation in the required form.
x=2y+5
c)
We can use the same equivalence as in part b).
logba=c⟺a=bc
We have
a=y+9b=xc=3.logx(y+9)=3⟹y+9=x3x=(y+9)13
d)
The two in this list that don't equal x are loge(x) and log10(x).
loge(x)=ln(x)log10(x)=log(x).
