Warm-upeasy

Simplify: log5(25)\log_{5}(25).

52=255^{2} = 25, so log5(25)=2\log_{5}(25) = 2.

Which rule combines loga+logb\log a + \log b into a single logarithm?

loga+logb=log(ab)\log a + \log b = \log(ab) is the product rule.

Mid-gameeasy

Simplify: log2(16)\log_{2}(16).

24=162^{4} = 16, so log2(16)=4\log_{2}(16) = 4.

Mid-gameeasy

Which rule rewrites 3loga3\log a as a single logarithm?

3loga=log(a3)3\log a = \log(a^{3}) is the power rule.

Mid-gameeasy

Simplify: log3(9)\log_{3}(9).

32=93^{2} = 9, so log3(9)=2\log_{3}(9) = 2.

Mid-gameeasy

Simplify: log3(27)\log_{3}(27).

33=273^{3} = 27, so log3(27)=3\log_{3}(27) = 3.

Mid-gameeasy

Simplify: log2(32)\log_{2}(32).

25=322^{5} = 32, so log2(32)=5\log_{2}(32) = 5.

Buzzer beatereasy

Simplify: log10(1000)\log_{10}(1000).

103=100010^{3} = 1000, so log10(1000)=3\log_{10}(1000) = 3.
