Basic Mathematics 5, 6: Log Log

1. This document contains 16 math problems involving logarithms and exponents. It asks the reader to evaluate logarithmic expressions, prove various logarithmic identities, solve logarithmic equations, and prove relationships between logarithms of different bases. 2. Some of the problems involve proving identities like log(a+b) = log(a) + log(b) when a+b = ab, and solving equations like log2x + log4(x+2) = 2. 3. The final problems ask the reader to prove statements relating logarithms of different variables when their logarithmic expressions are equal, and to find the value of expressions involving multiple logarithms and exponents.
