a)
i)
We can rearrange logarithms using indices.
logba=c⟺a=bc
Using this equivalence we can rewrite log9x=2.
x=92=81
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=3c=y+8
Then we can write out our equation in the required form.
x=3y+8
c)
We can use the same equivalence as in part b).
logba=c⟺a=bc
We have
a=y+3b=xc=4.logx(y+3)=4⟹y+3=x4x=(y+3)14
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).
