Logarithm Questions with Solutions
A logarithm answers the question: to what power must a base be raised to give a number? If a^x = N, then log base a of N = x. This topic covers the laws of logarithms (product, quotient and power rules), change of base, common and natural logarithms, and solving logarithmic and exponential equations. Most exam questions reduce to applying the three main rules correctly: log(mn) = log m + log n, log(m/n) = log m - log n, and log(m^k) = k log m. Remember that logarithms are only defined for positive numbers and a base that is positive and not equal to 1, which helps you reject invalid answers. Practise the logarithm questions below. Each comes with a step-by-step solution showing which law is applied at each step.
