Find the exact value of each expression.(a)log5(25)(b)log218
Question
Find the exact value of each expression.(a)log5(25)(b)log218
Solution
(a) log5(25)
The logarithm logb(a) is the exponent to which we have to raise the base b to get the number a. In this case, we want to find the exponent to which we have to raise 5 to get 25.
Since 5^2 = 25, the exponent is 2.
So, log5(25) = 2.
(b) log2(18)
This is asking for the exponent to which we have to raise 2 to get 18.
Since 2^4 = 16 and 2^5 = 32, the value of log2(18) is between 4 and 5.
However, the exact value of log2(18) cannot be expressed as a simple number. It is a decimal number that can be approximated but not exactly calculated without a calculator.
So, log2(18) is a number between 4 and 5.
