Q. Express the given expression as an integer or as a fraction in simplest form.log2(521)Answer:
Apply Log Property: Apply the property of logarithms that allows the exponent on the argument of the log to be brought out as a coefficient. log2(521)=log2(2−51)
Use Log Property: Use the property of logarithms that states logb(bx)=x, where b is the base of the logarithm and x is the exponent.log2(2−1/5)=−51
Simplify Logarithm: Since the base of the logarithm and the base of the exponent are the same 2, the logarithm simplifies directly to the exponent.The final answer is 5−1.
