Given that x+ y=1025

a)

log 10 y

Solution:
a x=1025 y

log 10 4 ( 1025 y )=10

log 10 ( 41004 y )=log 10 1010
41004 y=100
4 y=4000

y=1000
log 10 y=log 10 1000
log 10 y = 3

b x=10251000=25

and

log 10 4 x=10

. Find
b)

2. Given that y=a x

x=3 ,

when

, where a

and

y=8 . Find a

and

is constant, when x=2 , y=18,

n

Solution:
substitute all information given

18=a 2n ,8=a (3)n

18
a 2n
=
8 a (3 )n

since it is now similar ,if n iseven number , thenit will have positive answer

eg : (2 )2=( 2 )2=4
thus ,n=2
substitute any equation we found

18=a 22

18=a

3. Show that

5n +5n +1+5 n+2

is divisible to 31 for all positive integer of n .

Solutions:
5n ( 50 ) +5n ( 51 ) +5n ( 52 )
5n ( 50 +51 +52 )

4. Given that

log 25 x =a , log 625 y=b

Solution:
Change all log base 5

log 5 x
=a , log 5 x=2a
log 5 25

, find log 625 (x y ) in terms of a

and

log 5 y
=b , log 5 y =4 b
log 5 625
log 5 ( x 2 y3 ) log 5 x 2log 5 y 3
