How to solve logarithms


Topic:-Logarithm


The logarithm of a number to a given base is the power or exponent to which the base must be raised in order to produce the number.

Here is some natural logarithm basics
The logarithm of 1000 to the base 10 is 3, because 3 is how many 10s you must multiply to get 1000: thus 10 × 10 × 10 = 1000; the base 2 logarithm of 32 is 5 because 5 is how many 2s one must multiply to get 32: thus 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 = 32. In the language of exponents: 103 = 1000, so log101000 = 3, and 25 = 32, so log232 = 5.
This math help contains a example problem as well.
Question:-

3 log 4+2logx5-1/3log(x+3)

Answer:-

3 log 4+2logx5-1/3log(x+3)

 log 43+log(x5)2-log(x+3)1/3

 log 64 + log x10 - log(x+3)1/3

    
                  64 x10
           log -------------
                 (x+3)1/3
