Step by Step Solution

Part a. Step 1. Given.

The given exponential form is log3 37.

Part a. Step 2. To determine.

We have to evaluate the given expression.

Part a. Step 3. Calculation.

We’ll use the formula: logaab=b.

We will write log3 37 in form loga ab to find a and b. Then we’ll get the answer.

Given

loga ab form

a

b

Answer

log3 37

log3 37

3

7

7

Hence, log3 37 has value role="math" =7.

Part b. Step 1. Given.

The given exponential form is log4 64.

Part b. Step 2. To determine.

We have to evaluate the given expression.

Part b. Step 3. Calculation.

We’ll use the formula: logaab=b.

We will write log4 64 in form loga ab to find a and b. Then we’ll get the answer.

Given

loga ab form

a

b

Answer

log4 64

log4 43

4

3

3

Hence, log4 64 has value =3.

Part c. Step 1. Given.

The given exponential form is log5 125.

Part c. Step 2. To determine.

We have to evaluate the given expression.

Part c. Step 3. Calculation.

We’ll use the formula: logaab=b.

We will write log5 125 in form loga ab to find a and b. Then we’ll get the answer.

Given

loga ab form

a

b

Answer

log5 125

log5 53

5

3

3

Hence, log5 125 has value =3.
