Simplify 23+5log2x? Precalculus Properties of Logarithmic Functions Logarithm-- Inverse of an Exponential Function 1 Answer Shwetank Mauria Feb 8, 2018 23+5log2x=8x5 Explanation: Let alogax=u. Then taking logarithm to the base a on both sides we get logax×logaa=logau or logau=logax and therefore u=x i.e. alogax=x Using this in 23+5log2x = 23×25log2x = 23×(2log2x)5 - as amn=(am)n or (an)m = 8x5 Answer link Related questions What is a logarithm?
