12th Grade Logarithms and Exponential Equations Worksheet — Level 1 — Practice Set 3 — Answers
logₐ y = x means ax = y. Log laws: log a + log b = log ab; log a − log b = log (a ÷ b); log aⁿ = n log a.
1.Write 103 = 1000 in logarithm form.
Answer: log₁₀ 1000 = 3
ax = y means logₐ y = x.
2.Evaluate log₁₀ 10.
Answer: 1
101 = 10
3.Write 52 = 25 in logarithm form.
Answer: log₅ 25 = 2
ax = y means logₐ y = x.
4.Evaluate log₂ 8.
Answer: 3
23 = 8
5.Evaluate log₂ 32.
Answer: 5
25 = 32
6.Write 34 = 81 in logarithm form.
Answer: log₃ 81 = 4
ax = y means logₐ y = x.
7.Write 54 = 625 in logarithm form.
Answer: log₅ 625 = 4
ax = y means logₐ y = x.
8.Write 101 = 10 in logarithm form.
Answer: log₁₀ 10 = 1
ax = y means logₐ y = x.
9.Evaluate log₁₀ 100.
Answer: 2
102 = 100
10.Evaluate log₅ 125.
Answer: 3
53 = 125
11.Evaluate log₃ 81.
Answer: 4
34 = 81
12.Write 25 = 32 in logarithm form.
Answer: log₂ 32 = 5
ax = y means logₐ y = x.
Marking tips
- Give credit for correct method even when the final answer slips — the working shows where the thinking went right.
- For open-ended tasks, use the success criteria as a checklist rather than looking for one "right" answer.
- Celebrate what went well first, then pick one thing to work on next.
