Understanding Logarithms

What is the value of log base a of 1, regardless of the base?

• a

• 1

• 0

• a^0

If log base a of a^k equals k, what does this imply about the relationship between the base and the exponent?

• The base and the exponent are equal.

• The logarithm simplifies to the exponent.

• The base is always greater than the exponent.

• The exponent is the logarithm of the base.

What does a raised to the log base a of x simplify to?

• a

• a^x

• x

• log base a of x

Which property of logarithms allows you to express the logarithm of a product as a sum?

• Base Rule

• Product Rule

How can the logarithm of a quotient be expressed using logarithms?

• As a product of logarithms

• As a sum of logarithms

• As a power of logarithms

• As a difference of logarithms

What does the power rule of logarithms state?

• The logarithm of a power is the power times the logarithm of the base.

• The logarithm of a power is the base times the logarithm of the power.

• The logarithm of a power is the sum of the logarithms.

• The logarithm of a power is the difference of the logarithms.

When rewriting log base 2 of 2x using properties, what is the result?
