Evaluate Log5(3125 x 625).

Solution
= Log5(3125 x 625)
= Log53125 + Log5625

(applying the product rule)

= Log555+ Log554 ( 3125= 55 and 625=54by prime factorization)

= 5Log55 + 4Log55

( remember Logaac = cLogaa )

= (5 x 1) + (4 x 1)

( remember Logaa = 1 )

=5+4
=9
Hence Log3(1325 x 625) = 9.

If n(A)= 37 , n(B)= 50 and n(AuB)=65, find n(AnB).

Solution
n(AuB) = n(A) + n(B) - n(AnB)
65 = 37 + 50 - n(AnB)
65 = 87 - n(AnB)

65 - 87 = - n(AnB)
-22 = - n(AnB)
22 = n(AnB) (after dividing by -1 on both sides)
Hence n(AnB) = 22 answer

In a certain school, 200 students take either Commerce or

biology. 150 take commerce and 120 take both subjects. Find
those who take biology only.
Solution
In most cases, OR stands for union whereas AND/BOTH, stands
for intersection.
Let Biology = n(B), commerces = n(C).
n(C)= 150 ,
n(B)= ?
n(BuC) = 200,
n(BnC)= 120
Solution
n(CuB) = n(C) + n(B) - n(CnB)
200 = 150 + n(B) 120
200 = n(B) + 30

200 - 30 = n(B)
n(B)= 170
Biology only = n(B) n(CnB)
= 170 120
= 50
Hence those taking only biology are 50.
