12th Grade Logarithms and Exponential Equations Worksheet — Level 1 — Practice Set 4 — 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.

Answer: 3
53 = 125
2.Evaluate log₁₀ 1000.
Answer: 3
103 = 1000
3.Write 101 = 10 in logarithm form.
Answer: log₁₀ 10 = 1
ax = y means logₐ y = x.
4.Write 51 = 5 in logarithm form.
Answer: log₅ 5 = 1
ax = y means logₐ y = x.
5.Evaluate log₅ 5.
Answer: 1
51 = 5
6.Evaluate log₂ 64.
Answer: 6
26 = 64
7.Write 54 = 625 in logarithm form.
Answer: log₅ 625 = 4
ax = y means logₐ y = x.
8.Write 103 = 1000 in logarithm form.

32 = 9
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.
