Solution

Answer Key

1)  x = 2.402

2)  x = 0.3691

3)  x = -7.213

4) x = 0.438

5)  x = -1.652

6)  x = -ln4 

7) x = log5 4

8) x = ln 5 

Find the value of y.

1)  log5 25 = y

2)  log31 = y

3)  log16 4 = y

4)  log2 (1/8) = y

5)  log51 = y

6)  log2 8 = y

7)  log7 (1/7) = y

8)  log3 (1/9) = y

9)  logy 32 = 5

10)  log9 y = -1/2

11)  log4 (1/8) = y

12)  log9 (1/81) = y

Solution
