LEARNING ACTIVITY PLAN 11

At the end of the lesson, you are
expected to:
-Illustrate the laws on logarithm; and
-Solve logarithmic equations.
REVIEW:

1. loga xy loga x + loga y

2. log 2 5 + log 2 4 log 2 20

undefined

7. ln e 1

8. ln 1 0
Continuation….

Solve the logarithmic equations:

Solution: Check:

23 = 8
2. log 2 x + log 2 4 = 5

Solution:
Check:
log 2 x + log 2 4 = 5
log 2 x + log 2 4 = 5
log 2 4x = 5
log 2 8 + log 2 4 = 5
25= 4x
log 2 32 = 5
32 = 4x
25= 32
32 = 4x
4 4 32 = 32

x=8
 3. log 3 x + log 3 2 = 2

Solution:

log 3 x + log 3 2 = 2 Check:

log 3 2x = 2 log 3 x + log 3 2 = 2

32= 2x log 3 (4.5) + log 3 2 = 2

x-axis.
9 = 2x
log 3 9 = 2
9 = 2x
2 2 32 = 9

x = 9/2 or 9=9
4.5
4. log 3 x - log 3 2 = 2 5. log x + log 3 = 2

Solution: Solution:

log 3 x - log 3 2 = 2 log x + log 3 = 2

log 3 (x/2) = 2 log 10 3x = 2

32 = x 102 = 3x
2
100 = 3x
9=x
2 100 = 3x
3 3
18= x
100= x

6. log 3 162 - log 3 2 = ? 7. log 2 8 + log 2 4 = ?

Solution: Solution:

log 3 (162/2) = x log 2 8 + log 2 4 = x

log 3 81= x log 2 8(4) = x

log 2 32 = x
3X =
81 2X =
32
3X = 3 4
2X = 2 5
X=4
X=5
8.ln x = 2

Solution:

ln x = 2

ln e x = 2 e= 2.71828

e2 = x

(2.71828)2 = x

x = 7.3891
