To determine
To find:
(a) Exact Value of log51125
(b) Exact Value of ln1e2
Answer
(a) -3
(b) -2
Explanation
Calculation:
(a)
Given data: log51125
Formula used: logbx=y ⇔ x=by.
log51125=−3 because 5−3=1125
Thus, exact value of log51125 is −3_
(b)
Given data: ln1e2
Formula used: lnx=logex=y ⇔ x=ey.
ln1e2=loge1e2=y
1e2=ey⇔e−2=ey
y=−2
Thus, Exact Value of ln1e2 is −2_
Final statement:
(a) -3
(b) -2
