Q. If log_a(b) = c, which of the following is equivalent?
-
A.
a^c = b
-
B.
b^c = a
-
C.
c^a = b
-
D.
b^a = c
Solution
The definition of logarithms states that if log_a(b) = c, then a raised to the power of c equals b, hence a^c = b.
Correct Answer: A — a^c = b

Q. In the context of logarithms, which of the following statements is true?
-
A.
Logarithm of a product is the sum of the logarithms.
-
B.
Logarithm of a quotient is the product of the logarithms.
-
C.
Logarithm of a power is the power of the logarithm.
-
D.
Logarithm of a number is always positive.
Solution
The logarithm of a product is indeed the sum of the logarithms, as per the property log(a*b) = log(a) + log(b).
Correct Answer: A — Logarithm of a product is the sum of the logarithms.

Q. Which of the following is NOT a property of logarithms?
-
A.
log_a(b*c) = log_a(b) + log_a(c)
-
B.
log_a(b/c) = log_a(b) - log_a(c)
-
C.
log_a(b^c) = c*log_a(b)
-
D.
log_a(b) + log_a(c) = log_a(b*c) + log_a(b)
Solution
The last statement is incorrect as it does not follow the properties of logarithms.
Correct Answer: D — log_a(b) + log_a(c) = log_a(b*c) + log_a(b)
