Summer Work 2021: Week #3, part b
Topic: Logarithmic functions and equations.
Resources: This topic is found in Chapter 5.
Complete all problems on your own paper with the required supporting work. Using a graphing
calculator to complete the work will only continue the myth that you know what you are doing.
Evaluate each logarithm. In other words, what is the value of each logarithm expression? Do
not use a calculator.

Solve each equation for the exact value of x.
27. log6 (8𝑥) − 3 log 6(3) = 0 28. log$ (6𝑥) + log $(2) = 3
29. log- (5𝑥) − 3 log -(2) = 0 30. log- (3𝑥 − 2) + log -(4𝑥 + 1) = 0
31. log, (4𝑥 + 4) + log ,(𝑥 + 1) = 0 32. log7 (𝑥 , − 5) − log 7(3𝑥 + 2) = 1
33. log, (3𝑥 , + 4) − log ,(𝑥 + 6) = 2 34. logFU7 (10𝑥 + 19) = 2
35. 5 ln(7𝑥 − 9) + 4 = 34 36. 3 ln(8𝑥 − 8) + 11 = 2
