This module provides practice problems related to logarithms.

log 2 8 asks the question: “2 to what power is 8?” Based on that, you can answer the following questions:

Looking at your answers to exercises #3-6, what does the log 10 tell you about a number?

OK. When I say 36 size 12{ sqrt {"36"} } {} = 6 , that’s the same thing as saying 6 2 = 36 . Why? Because 36 size 12{ sqrt {"36"} } {} asks a question: “What squared equals 36?” So the equation 36 size 12{ sqrt {"36"} } {} = 6 is providing an answer: “ six squared equals 36.”

You can look at logs in a similar way. If I say log 2 32 = 5 I’m asking a question: “2 to what power is 32?” And I’m answering: “two to the fifth power is 32.” So saying log 2 32 = 5 is the same thing as saying 2 5 = 32 .

Based on this kind of reasoning, rewrite the following logarithm statements as exponent statements.

Now do the same thing backward: rewrite the following exponent statements as logarithm statements.

Finally...you don’t understand a function until you graph it...

  • Draw a graph of y = log 2 x . Plot at least 5 points to draw the graph.
  • What are the domain and range of the graph? What does that tell you about this function?

lack electricity and its more savely than electronic microscope because its naturally by using of light
Abdullahi Reply
advantage of electronic microscope is easily and clearly while disadvantage is dangerous because its electronic. advantage of light microscope is savely and naturally by sun while disadvantage is not easily,means its not sharp and not clear

in what situation (s) would be the use of a scanning electron microscope be ideal and why?
Kenna Reply
A scanning electron microscope (SEM) is ideal for situations requiring high-resolution imaging of surfaces. It is commonly used in materials science, biology, and geology to examine the topography and composition of samples at a nanoscale level. SEM is particularly useful for studying fine details,
