Practice Logarithm in Math

Use these practice problems to test your method after reviewing the concept explanation and worked examples.

Quick Recap

The logarithm \log_b(x) answers: "to what power must b be raised to produce x?" It is the inverse function of f(x) = b^x.

The exponent that produces a number. \log_2(8) = 3 because 2^3 = 8.

Example 1

easy
Evaluate \log_2 32.

Example 2

medium
Solve \log_3(2x + 1) = 4.

Example 3

easy
Evaluate \log_5 125.

Example 4

medium
Solve \log(x) + \log(x - 3) = 1 where \log denotes \log_{10}.

Example 5

hard
Solve \log_2(x) + \log_2(x - 6) = 4.
