Lesson 3: Logarithms and Logarithmic Functions — Practice Questions

  1. 1. The point $(2, 25)$ lies on the graph of the exponential function $y=5^x$. Which point must lie on the graph of the logarithmic function $y=\log_5 x$?

    • A. $(25, 2)$
    • B. $(-2, 25)$
    • C. $(2, -25)$
    • D. $(5, 2)$
  2. 2. The point $(32, 5)$ is on the graph of $y=\log_2 x$. Therefore, the point $(5, \_\_\_)$ must be on the graph of its inverse function, $y=2^x$.

  3. 3. The graph of any exponential function $y=b^x$ (for $b>0, b \neq 1$) passes through the point $(0, 1)$. What corresponding point must lie on the graph of any logarithmic function $y=\log_b x$?

    • A. $(1, 0)$
    • B. $(0, -1)$
    • C. $(-1, 0)$
    • D. $(0, 1)$
  4. 4. The point $(c, 81)$ is on the graph of $y=3^x$. Because the functions are inverses, the point $(81, c)$ is on the graph of $y=\log_3 x$. What is the value of $c$? $c = \_\_\_$

  5. 5. The graph of the logarithmic function $g(x) = \log_7 x$ can be obtained by reflecting the graph of its inverse exponential function, $f(x) = 7^x$, across which line?

    • A. $y=x$
    • B. $y=-x$
    • C. the x-axis
    • D. the y-axis
  6. 6. Evaluate the expression: $\log_2 32 = \_\_\_$.

  7. 7. Which exponential equation is equivalent to the logarithmic equation $\log_7 49 = 2$?

    • A. $7^2 = 49$
    • B. $2^7 = 49$
    • C. $49^2 = 7$
    • D. $7^{49} = 2$
  8. 8. Find the value of the logarithm: $\log_6 \frac{1}{36} = \_\_\_$.

  9. 9. In the expression $\log_a c = b$, what does the value of $b$ represent?

    • A. The base
    • B. The argument
    • C. The exponent
    • D. The reciprocal
