If $x = \displaystyle \frac{y}{(1 + x)^p}$, then $p$ is equal to

maths logarithms more about logarithms a relation between logarithmic functions properties of logarithms

  1. $\displaystyle \frac{\displaystyle \log _e \left ( \frac{y}{x} \right )}{\log _e (1 + a)}$

  2. $\log \displaystyle \left { \frac{y}{x(1+ a)} \right }$

  3. $\log \displaystyle \left { \frac{y - x}{1+ a} \right }$

  4. $\displaystyle \frac{\log y}{\log { x(1 + a) }}$

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Since $x = \displaystyle \frac{y}{(1 + a)^p}$


$\therefore   (1 + a)^p = \displaystyle \frac{y}{x}$
or $p   \log _e (1 + a) = \log _e\dfrac{y}{x}$
or $\displaystyle p = \dfrac{\displaystyle log _e\left ( \frac{y}{x} \right )}{log _e (1 + a)}$

If $\log _{ 5 }{ x } =y$, then ${5}^{5y}$ is

maths logarithms more about logarithms a relation between logarithmic functions properties of logarithms

  1. $\cfrac{x}{5}$

  2. $5x$

  3. $\log _{ x }{ 5 } $

  4. ${x}^{5}$

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:

$\log _5 x =y $

$5^{\log _5 x }=5^y $
$5^y =x$

Then , $5^{5y} = (5^y)^5 = x^5$

The value of $\log _{ 2 }{ 7 } $ is:

maths logarithms more about logarithms a relation between logarithmic functions properties of logarithms

  1. an integer

  2. a prime number

  3. a rational number

  4. an irrational number

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:
Suppose $\log _{2}{7}$ is rational.

$\Rightarrow \: \log _{2}{7}=\dfrac{a}{b}\:\Rightarrow \: 7=2^{a/b}$
$\Rightarrow \: 7^{b}=2^{a}$

But $2^{a}$ is even and $7^{b}$ is odd.
Hence, our assumption is wrong.

$\Rightarrow \: \log _{2}{7}$ is irrational.

The value of $x$ satisfying $\log _{ 243 }{ x } =0.8$

maths logarithms more about logarithms a relation between logarithmic functions properties of logarithms

  1. $81$

  2. $1.8$

  3. $2.43$

  4. $27$

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

$\log _{243}x=0.8$

$\Rightarrow x=243^{0.8}$
$\Rightarrow x=81$
Hence, A is the correct option.

If $\log _{ x }{ \left( 7x-10 \right)  } =2$, then find the value(s) of $x$.

maths logarithms more about logarithms a relation between logarithmic functions properties of logarithms

  1. $2$

  2. $3$

  3. $4$

  4. $5$

Show answer
Correct Option: A,D
Explanation:

$\log _x(7x-10) =2$

$\Rightarrow x^2 =7x-10$ ...... $[\because a^{\log _{a} x}=x]$

$\Rightarrow x^2-7x+10=0$

$\Rightarrow x^2-5x-2x-10 =0$

$\Rightarrow (x-5)(x-2)=0$

Hence, $x =5 \; or \; x =2$

if $y=\left( \log _{ 2 }{ 3 }  \right) \left( \log _{ 3 }{ 4 }  \right) ....\left( \log _{ 31 }{ 32 }  \right) $, then

maths logarithms more about logarithms a relation between logarithmic functions properties of logarithms

  1. $4< y\le 5$

  2. $y=5$

  3. $4< y< 6$

  4. $y=6$

Show answer
Correct Option: A,B,C
Explanation:

Let $y = (\log _2 3 ) (\log _3 4 ) ( \log _4 5 ) … (\log _{31} 32 )$

Then, $2^y =2^{((\log _2 3 ) (\log _3 4 ) ( \log _4 5 ) … (\log _{31} 32 ))} $

By laws of exponents and the definition of a logarithm,

$2^{((\log _2 3 ) (\log _3 4 ) ( \log _4 5 ) … (log _{31} 32 ))} $

$=(2^{(\log _23)})^{((\log _3 4 ) ( \log _4 5 ) … (\log _{31} 32 ))} $

$= 3^{((\log _3 4 ) ( \log _4 5 ) … (\log _{31} 32 ))} $

$=(3^{(\log _34)})^{(( \log _4 5 ) … (\log _{31} 32 ))} $

$=4^{(( \log _4 5 ) … (\log _{31} 32 ))} $ .......

$=31^{(\log _{31}32)} =32$

$\therefore 2^y =32$

$y=5$

The value of $\log _{ 49 }{ 7 } $ is

maths logarithms more about logarithms a relation between logarithmic functions properties of logarithms

  1. $2$

  2. $\dfrac{1}{2}$

  3. $\dfrac{1}{7}$

  4. $1$

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

$\log _{49}7 = \log _{7^2}7 = \dfrac{1}{2}\log _{7}7 = \dfrac{1}{2}$

$\log 3 {27}$ is equal to___

maths logarithms more about logarithms a relation between logarithmic functions properties of logarithms

  1. $3$

  2. $2$

  3. $4$

  4. $5$

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

$\log _3(27)$

$=\log _3(3^3)$
$=3\log _33$
$=3$              $\because(\log _aa=1)$
Hence, A is the correct option.

If $\left( \log _{ 3 }{ x }  \right) \left( \log _{ x }{ 2x }  \right) \left( \log _{ 2x }{ y }  \right) =\log _{ x }{ { x }^{ 2 } } $, then $y$ equals:

  1. $\cfrac{9}{2}$

  2. $9$

  3. $18$

  4. $27$

  5. $81$

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Since $\log _{ a }{ b } =\cfrac { \log _{ c }{ b }  }{ \log _{ c }{ a }  } $, we have with base $x$, 
$\cfrac { \log { x }  }{ \log { 3 }  } .\cfrac { \log { 2x }  }{ \log { x }  } .\cfrac { \log { y }  }{ \log { 2x }  } =2;\quad \quad \log { y } =2\log { 3 } =\log { 9 } ;\quad y=9$

If $\log _{2x}$$216= x$, where $x$ is real, then $x$ is:

maths logarithms more about logarithms a relation between logarithmic functions properties of logarithms

  1. A non-square, non-cube integer

  2. A non-square, non-cube, non-integral number

  3. An irrational number

  4. A perfect square

  5. A perfect cube

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

$\log _{2x}216= x , (2x)^x = 216 , 2^x.x^x= 2^3 . 3^3$
An obvious solution to this eqquation is $x = 3$, so that (A) is the correct choice.
