Logarithms and Exponents Review (due Monday)
1. The function y = 2 is equivalent to
x 2. What is the value of 2 −3 ?
(1) x = y log 2 (3) y = x log 2
(2) x = log 2 y (4) y = log 2 x

3. If log x 9 = −2, what is the value of x? 4. Find x to the nearest tenth.

5x = 3.6

5. If log a = 2 and log b = 3, what is the numerical value 6. If log a = x and log b = y , what is log a b ?
a x+y
of log 3
? (1) x + 2 y (3)
b 2
(1) 8 (3) 25 y
(2) –8 (4) –25 (2) 2 x + 2 y (4) x +
2

7. Find x: log x 4 + log x 9 = 2, 8. Write in exponential form.

1.5 = log4 8

9. Write in logarithmic form. 10 Find the value of x.

7² = 49 . log9 3 = x
11 Solve algebraically for x: 8 2 x = 4 6 12 Find the value of x.
. . log6 X = 2

13 Solve for x: log b 36 − log b 2 = log b x 14 Solve for x to the nearest hundredth.
. . log35 + log3x = log3(7 + x)

15 Solve for x: logb 3 + logb x = logb 12 16 Solve for m: 3m+1 − 5 = 22

17 The number of houses in Central Village, New York, 18 A population of wolves in a county is represented by
. grows every year according to the function . the equation P(t ) = 80(0.98) t , where t is the number
H(t ) = 540(1039
. ) t , where H represents the number of years since 1998. Predict the number of wolves in
of houses, and t represents the number of years since the population in the year 2008.
January 1995. A civil engineering firm has suggested
that a new, larger well must be built by the village to
supply its water when the number of houses exceeds
1,000. During which year will this first happen?
