Exam-Style Questions.Problems adapted from questions set for previous Mathematics exams. |
1. | IB Standard |
Find the value of the following:
(a) \(log_464\);
(b) \(log_7\frac17\);
(c) \(log_{25}5\);
(d) Use the solutions to the previous parts of this question to help solve:
$$log_464+log_7\frac17-log_{25}5=log_4x$$2. | IB Standard |
Evaluate the following, giving your answers as integers.
(a) \(\log _5 25\)
(b) \(\log _6 3 + \log _6 12\)
(c) \(\log _2 12 - \log _2 6\)
3. | IB Standard |
Find the value of
(a) \(\log _4 2 + \log _4 8\)
(b) \(\log_2 60-\log_2 15\)
(c) \(27^{\log_3 4}\)
4. | IB Standard |
(a) Solve \(4x^2 - 8x - 5 = 0\)
(b) Hence solve \(4 \times 25^x - 8 \times 5^x = 5\)
5. | IB Standard |
Part of the graph of \(f(x) = {\log _b}(x + 4)\) for \(x > - 4\) is shown below.
The graph passes through A(4, 3) , has an x-intercept at (-3, 0) and has an asymptote at \(x = - 4\).
(a) Find the value of \(b\).The graph of \(f(x)\) is reflected in the line \(y = x\) to give the graph of \(g(x)\).
(b) Write down the y-intercept of the graph of \(g(x)\).
(c) Sketch the graph of \(g(x)\), noting clearly any asymptotes and the image of A.
(d) Find \(g(x)\) in terms of \(x\).
6. | IB Standard |
An arithmetic sequence has \(u_1 = \log_h(j)\) and \(u_2 = \log_h(jk)\), where \(h > 1\) and \(j, k \gt 0\).
(a) Show that the common difference, \(d = \log_h(k)\).
(b) Let \(j = h^5\) and \(k = h^7\). Find the value of \( \sum_{n=1}^{16} u_n \).
7. | IB Standard |
Consider the function \(f (x) = \log_p(24x - 18x^2)\) , for \(0 \lt x \lt 1\), where \(p \gt 0\).
The equation \(f (x) = 3\) has exactly one solution. Find the value of \(p\).
