To simplify 81 to the ½, remember from our study of rational exponents that an exponent of ½ means that we take the square root of the base. In other words, 81 to the ½ means the same thing as the square root of 81. And the square root of 81 is 9. So 81 to the ½ is 9

In this example, we’re asked to write “a” to the negative 3rd squared in simplest form without negative or zero exponents. Remember that the power rule tells us that when we have a power taken to another power, such as a to the negative 3rd squared, we multiply the exponents. So we have a to the -3 times 2, or a to the negative 6th. Finally, remember from our study of negative exponents that a to the negative 6th can be written as 1 over a to the positive 6th. So a to the negative 3rd squared simplifies to 1 over a to the 6th.

Here we’re asked to evaluate each of the following logarithms. In part a, we have log base 7 of 49. To evaluate this logarithm, we set it equal to x. In other words, log base 7 of 49 = what? Notice that we now have an equation written in logarithmic form, so let’s see if we can solve the equation by converting it to exponential form. Remember that the base of the log represents the base of the power, the right side of the equation represents the exponent, and the number inside the log represents the result, so we have 7…to the x…= 49. Next, we solve for x. Notice that 7 and 49 have a like base of 7, so we rewrite 49 as 7 squared, and we have 7 to the x = 7 squared, so x must equal 2. In part b, we have log base 3 of 1/27. Again, to evaluate this logarithm, we set it equal to x, and convert the logarithmic equation to exponential form. Remember that the base of the log represents the base of the power, the right side of the equation represents the exponent, and the number inside the log represents the result, so we have 3…to the x…= 1/27. Next, we solve for x. Notice that 3 and 1/27 have a like base of 3, so we rewrite 1/27 as 1 over 3 cubed, and we have 3 to the x = 1 over 3 cubed. Next, 1 over 3 cubed is the same thing as 3 to the negative 3, so we have 3 to the x = 3 to the negative 3, which means that x must equal -3. Therefore, log base 3 of 1/27 = -3. So remember the following rule. To evaluate a logarithm, set it equal to x, convert to exponential form, and solve the equation using like bases.

Here we’re asked to solve for x in the equation: log base x of 144 = 2. Notice that we have a logarithmic equation, so let’s first convert the equation to exponential form. Remember that the base of the log represents the base of the power, the right side of the equation represents the exponent, and the number inside the log represents the result, so we have x…squared…= 144. Now, to solve for x, since x is squared, we simply take the square root of both sides of the equation to get x = plus or minus 12. Remember to always use plus or minus when taking the square root of both sides of an equation. However, notice that x represents the base of the logarithm in the original problem, and the base of a logarithm cannot be negative. Therefore, x cannot be equal to negative 12. So our final answer is x = 12.

In this example, which involves natural logarithms, we’re asked to solve each of the following equations for x, and leave our answers in terms of e. To solve for x in the first equation, ln x = 3, we simply switch the equation from logarithmic to exponential form. Remember that ln x means the natural logarithm of x, and a natural log has a base of e. So, to convert the given equation to exponential form, remember that the base of the log represents the base of the power, the right side of the equation represents the exponent, and the number inside the log represents the result, so we have e…to the 3rd…= x, and we’ve solved for x. Notice that our answer, e cubed, is written in terms of e, which is what the problem asks us to do. Now, let’s take a look at the second equation, ln x squared = 8. Again, we solve for x by switching the equation from logarithmic to exponential form. Ln x squared means the natural logarithm of x squared, and a natural log has a base of e. So, converting the equation to exponential form, we have e…to the 8th…= x squared. Next, since x is squared, we take the square root of both sides. On the right, the square root of x squared is x. On the left, however, there are a couple of things to watch out for. First, remember that the square root of e to the 8th is the same thing as e to the 8th to the ½, which simplifies to e to the 8 times ½, or e to the 4th. Also, remember that when we take the square root of both sides of an equation, we use plus or minus, so our final answer is plus or minus e to the 4th = x.

In this example, we’re asked to expand the given logarithmic expression, log base 3 of M squared N to the 5th. Remember that our first law of logarithms states that if two values are multiplied together inside a logarithm, such as M squared times N to the 5th, then we can expand the logarithm into the sum of two separate logarithms, in this case log base 3 of M squared plus log base 3 of N to the 5th. Next, notice that each logarithm has a power inside the logarithm, and remember that our third law of logarithms states that if we have a power inside a logarithm, we can move the exponent to the front of the logarithm, so we have 2 times log base 3 of M + 5 times log base 3 of N.
