SNAP Logarithms, Surds and Indices Questions
We have, $$a^2=b^3=c^4$$, $$b^2=d^5$$
=> d=$$b^{\frac{2}{5}}$$
Also, c= $$b^{\frac{3}{4}}$$ and a = $$b^{\frac{3}{2}}$$
Now, $$\log_ab$$*$$\log_cd$$ = $$\frac{\log b}{\log a}\times\ \frac{\log d}{\log c}$$
= $$\dfrac{\log\ b}{\log b^{\frac{3}{2}}}\times\ \dfrac{\log b^{\frac{2}{5}}}{\log b^{\frac{3}{4}}}$$
= $$\frac{\log\ b}{\frac{3}{2}\log b}\times\ \frac{\frac{2}{5}\log b}{\frac{3}{4}\log b}$$ = $$\frac{2}{3}\times\ \frac{2\times\ 4}{3\times\ 5}=\ \frac{\ 16}{45}$$
Given that $$\frac{1}{\log _{a+1}(91)} + \frac{1}{\log _{b+1}(91)} = 1$$. If a, b are integers, find the value of a+b.
$$\log _{91} (a+1) + \frac{1}{\log _{b+1}(91)} = 1$$ can be written as
$$\log _{91} (a+1) + \log _{91}(b+1) = 1$$
==> (a+1)(b+1) = 91
==> (a,b) can be (90,0), (12,6), (6,12) or (0,90) (Since a+1, b+1 > 0).
==> But a and b cannot be 0 as the base of the logarithm cannot be 1.
==> a+b = 18
Find the number of real number solutions to the following equation $$ \log _9 {(Y+6)^2} + \log _{27} {(11-Y)^3} = 4$$
$$ \log _9 {(Y+6)^2} + \log _{27} {(11-Y)^3} = \log _3 {(Y+6)} + \log _3 {(11-Y)} = \log _3 {(66+5Y-Y^2)}$$
So, $$ 66+5Y-Y^2 = 3^4 = 81$$
Or, $$Y^2-5Y+15=0$$
This equation has no real roots
$$\left\{\frac{2^{\frac{1}{2}} \times 3^{\frac{1}{3}} \times 4^{\frac{1}{4}}}{10^{\frac{-1}{5}} \times 5^{\frac{3}{5}}} \div \frac{3^{\frac{4}{3}} \times 5^{\frac{-7}{5}}}{4^{\frac{-3}{5}} \times 6}\right\} \times 2 =$$
we have :
$$\frac{\left(2^{\frac{1}{2}}\times\ 3^{\frac{1}{3}}\times\ 4^{\frac{1}{4}}\right)}{10^{-\frac{1}{5}}\times\ 5^{\frac{3}{5}}}\ \ \ \ $$
Now 4 = 2^2 and 10 = 2*5
We get $$\ \frac{\left(2^{\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{2}}\times3^{\frac{1}{3}}\ \right)}{2^{-\frac{1}{5}}\times\ 5^{-\frac{1}{5}}\times\ 5^{\frac{3}{5}}}=\frac{\left(2^{\frac{6}{5}}\times\ 3^{\frac{1}{3}}\right)}{5^{\frac{2}{5}}}$$ (1)
Now the next term we have is :$$\frac{\left(3^{\frac{4}{3}}\times\ 5^{-\frac{7}{5}}\right)}{4^{-\frac{3}{5}}\times\ 6}$$
6= 2*3 and 4=2^2
We get $$\frac{\left(3^{\frac{1}{3}}\times\ 5^{-\frac{7}{5}}\right)}{2^{-\frac{1}{5}}}$$ (2)
Dividing (1) and (2) we get
$$\frac{\left(2^{\frac{6}{5}}\times\ 3^{\frac{1}{3}}\right)}{5^{\frac{2}{5}}}\times\ \frac{\left(2^{-\frac{1}{5}}\right)}{3^{\frac{1}{3}}\times\ 5^{-\frac{7}{5}}}$$
= $$\frac{2}{5^{-1}}=10$$
Now we have to multiply by 2
so we get 10*2=20
If $$\log_{10}{11} = a$$ then $$\log_{10}{\left(\frac{1}{110}\right)}$$ is equal to
$$\log_{10}{\left(\frac{1}{110}\right)}$$
$$\log_a\left(\ \frac{\ x}{y}\right)\ =\ \log_ax-\log_ay$$
$$\log_{10}{\left(\frac{1}{110}\right)}$$ = $$=\ \log_{10}1-\log_{10}110$$
= 0$$-\log_{10}110$$
=$$-\log_{10}11\times\ 10$$
=$$-\left(\log_{10}11+\log_{10}10\right)$$
= -(a+1)
D is the correct answer.
If $$R_c=m\times\ln\left(1+\ \frac{\ R_m}{m}\right)$$ then $$R_m$$ is equal to
$$\ \frac{\ R_c}{m}=\ln\left(1+\frac{R_m}{m}\right)$$
$$\ \frac{\ R_m}{m}+\ 1\ =\ e^{\ \frac{\ R_c}{m}}$$
$$\ \frac{\ R_m}{m}\ =\ e^{\ \frac{\ R_c}{m}}-1$$
$$R_m = m\left(e^{\frac{R_c}{m}} - 1 \right)$$
C is the correct answer.
Sham is trying to solve the expression:
$$\log \tan 1^\circ + \log \tan 2^\circ + \log \tan 3^\circ + ........ + \log \tan 89^\circ$$.
The correct answer would be?
$$\log \tan 1^\circ + \log \tan 2^\circ + \log \tan 3^\circ + ........ + \log \tan 89^\circ$$.
=$$\log \tan 1^\circ + \log \tan 89^\circ + \log \tan 2^\circ + \log \tan 88^\circ ........ + \log \tan 45^\circ$$.
=$$\log\ \left(\tan\ 1^0\cdot\tan\ 89^0\right)\times\log\ \left(\tan\ 2^0\cdot\tan\ 88^0\right)\ ...........................\log\ \left(\tan\ 45^0\right)$$
tan $$45^0$$ = 1
$$\log\ \left(\tan\ 45^0\right)\ =\ 0$$
$$\therefore$$ $$\log \tan 1^\circ + \log \tan 2^\circ + \log \tan 3^\circ + ........ + \log \tan 89^\circ$$ = 0
If $$\frac{1}{2} \log x + \frac{1}{2} \log y + \log 2 = \log(x + y)$$, then ..............
mlog(a) + nlog(b) = log($$a^{\frac{1}{m}}\cdot b^{\frac{1}{n}}$$)
Therefore the given LHS reduces to log(2$$\sqrt{\ xy}$$) which is equal to log(x+y)
Remove log on both sides
2$$\sqrt{\ xy}$$=x+y
$$\left(\sqrt{\ x}\right)^{2\ }+\ \left(\sqrt{\ y}\right)^2\ -2\sqrt{\ x\cdot y}=0$$
$$\left(\sqrt{\ x}-\sqrt{\ y}\right)^2=0$$
=> x=y
$$\log_{5}{25} + \log_{2} (\log_{3}{81})$$ is
$$\log\left(a^m\right)\ =\ m\log\left(a\right)\ and\ \ \log_aa$$ = 1
$$\log_55^2\ +\ \log_2\left(\log_33^4\right)$$
2 + $$\ \log_24$$

If $$2^x + 2^{x + 1} = 48$$, then the value of $$x^x$$ is
$$2^x\ +\ 2^x.2\ =48$$
$$2^x\ \left(1+2\right)\ =48$$
$$2^x\ =16$$
x=4
$$4^4=256$$
What is the value of x in the following expression?
$$x + \log_{10} (1 + 2^x) = x \log_{10} 5 + \log_{10} 6$$
The given equation can be written as
$$\log\left(10\right)^{x\ }\ +\ \log\left(1+2^x\right)=\log\left(5\right)^x+\log6$$
$$\log\left(10\right)^{x\ }\left(1+2^x\right)=\log\left(5\right)^x\cdot6$$ ( since logA + logB=logAB)
$$\log\ \frac{\left(2^x\cdot5^x\right)\left(1+2^x\right)}{5^x\cdot6}=0$$ ( since logA - logB=logA/B)
$$\frac{\left(2^x\ +2^{2x\ }\right)}{6}=10^0$$ ($$Since\ \log_aN\ =x\ \ =>N=a^x$$)
$$2^{^x}+2^{2x}=6$$
The above equation is satisfied only when x=1
Find the value of $$\log_{3^2}{5^4} \times \log_{5^2}{3^4}$$
$$\log_{b^n}\left(a^m\right)\ =\frac{m}{n}\log_ba\ =\frac{m}{n}\cdot\frac{\log\left(a\right)}{\log\left(b\right)}$$
So given equation becomes $$\frac{4}{2}\cdot\frac{4}{2}\cdot\frac{\log\left(3\right)}{\log\left(2\right)}\cdot\frac{\log\left(2\right)}{\log\left(3\right)}$$ = 4
what is the value of $$\frac{\log_{27}{9} \times \log_{16}{64}}{\log_{4}{\sqrt2}}$$?
$$\frac{\log_{27}{9} \times \log_{16}{64}}{\log_{4}{\sqrt2}}$$?
=$$\frac{\ \log_{3^3}3^2\times\ \log_{2^4}2^6}{\log_{\left(\sqrt{\ 2}\right)^4}\sqrt{\ 2}}$$
=$$\frac{\ \ \frac{\ 2}{3}\times\ \frac{\ 6}{4}}{\ \frac{\ 1}{4}}$$

D is the correct answer.
Find the value of $$\log_{10}{10} + \log_{10}{10^2} + ..... + \log_{10}{10^n}$$
$$\log_{10}{10} + \log_{10}{10^2} + ..... + \log_{10}{10^n}$$
Since $$\log_aa\ $$ = 1
$$\log_{10}{10} + \log_{10}{10^2} + ..... + \log_{10}{10^n}$$ = 1+2+....n
=$$\ \frac{\ n\left(n+1\right)}{2}$$
=$$\frac{(n^{2} + n)}{2}$$
D is the correct answer.
The value is?
$$5^{\frac{1}{4}} \times (125)^{0.25}$$
$$5^{\frac{1}{4}}$$ * $$125^{0.25}$$
= $$5^{0.25}$$ * $$5^{3*0.25}$$
= $$5^{0.25+0.75}$$
=$$5^1$$
