LOGARITHMS-1


Evaluate Log2(256 ÷ 4).

Solution

= Log2(256 ÷ 4)

= Log2256 -  Log24          (applying the quotient rule)

= Log228 -  Log222             ( 256= 28 and 4=22 )

= 8Log22 -  2Log22       ( remember  Logaac = cLogaa )

= (8 x 1) - (2 x 1)          ( remember  Logaa = 1 )

= 8 - 2

= 6


hence Log2(128 ÷ 4) = 6 

TRY THIS...............


Evaluate Log2(1024 ÷ 64).
