Find X, If : Logx 625 = -4 - Mathematics

Find x, if : log_x 625 = - 4

Sum

log_x 625 = - 4

⇒ 625 = x^{- 4} ...[ Removing logarithm ]

⇒ 5⁴ = `( 1/x )^4`
⇒ 5 = `1/x` ....[ Powers are same, bases are equal ]
⇒ x = `1/5`

If `3/2 log a + 2/3` log b - 1 = 0, find the value of a⁹.b⁴.

If log`( a - b )/2 = 1/2( log a + log b )`, Show that : a² + b² = 6ab.

Show that : log_a m ÷ log_ab m + 1 + log _ab

Solve the following:
log ( x + 1) + log ( x - 1) = log 11 + 2 log 3

Solve the following:
log ₄ x + log₄(x-6) = 2

Solve for x: `("log"121)/("log"11)` = logx

If `"log" x^2 - "log"sqrt(y)` = 1, express y in terms of x. Hence find y when x = 2.

Express the following in a form free from logarithm:
2 log x + 3 log y = log a

Prove that (log a)² - (log b)² = `"log"("a"/"b")."log"("ab")`

Prove that: `(1)/("log"_2 30) + (1)/("log"_3 30) + (1)/("log"_5 30)` = 1
