1. Evaluate the following expressions : (2 points)

a) log4 4 x=1

b) log2 16=4

1
c) log ( ) =–2
100

d) ln 1 = 0

2. Solve the following equations for x : (4 points)

a) 2 – 4 = 12
x−1

2x−1−4=12
2x−1=16
2x−1=16
log(2x−1) =log (16)
(X−1) *(log (2)) =log (16)
log 16
X−1= log 12
X-1=4
X=5

b)log3 (x – 1) = 2
log ⁡(x−1)
=2
log 3
log(x-1) =2log3
log(x-1) =0.95
log(x-1)
10 =100.95
x-1=9
x=10
