Express the following in logarithmic form$\,\colon$
$81\,=\,3^{4}$

  1. $\log _381\,=\,4$
  2. $\log _981\,=\,2$
  3. $2\log _39\,=\,4$
  4. $4\log _93\,=\,2$

A,B,C,D Correct answer
Explanation

$y={ a }^{ x }\Rightarrow \log _{ a }{ y } =x\ \therefore 81={ 3 }^{ 4 }\Rightarrow \log _{ 3 }{ 81 } =4$

A is true.
$81=3^{4}=9^{2}$

$\Rightarrow \log _{9}81=\log _{9}9^{2}=2\log _{9} 9=2$
B is true.
$81=3^{4}=9^{2}$
$\Rightarrow \log _{3} 3^{4}=\log _{3}9^{2}=2\log _{3} 9$
C is true.
$81=3^{4}=9^{2}$
$\Rightarrow \log _{9}3^{4}=\log _{9}9^{2}=2\log _{9} 9=2$
$\Rightarrow 4\log _{9} 3=2$
D is true.

Multiple choice physics logarithms introduction to logarithm logarithmic notation exponential and logarithms

Which of the following statements is not correct?

  1. $log _{10} 10 = 1$
  2. $log (2+ 3) = log (2 \times 3)$
  3. $log _{10} 1 = 0$
  4. $log (1 + 2 + 3) = log 1 + log 2 + log 3$
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

(a) Since $log _a a = 1,$ so $log _{10}  10 = 1$
(b) $log (2 + 3) log 5$ and $log (2 \times 3) = log 6 = log 2 + log 3$
$\therefore log(2 + 3) \neq log (2 \times 3)$
(c) Since, $log _a  1 = 0$, so, $log _{10} 1 = 0$.
(d) $log(1 + 2 + 3) = log 6 = log (1 \times 2 \times 3) = log 1 + log 2 + log 3$
