Simplify 2^(3+5log_2x)? Precalculus Properties of Logarithmic Functions Logarithm-- Inverse of an Exponential Function 1 Answer Shwetank Mauria Feb 8, 2018 2^(3+5log_2x)=8x^5 Explanation: Let a^(log_ax)=u. Then taking logarithm to the base a on both sides we get log_ax xxlog_aa=log_au or log_au=log_ax and therefore u=x i.e. a^(log_ax)=x Using this in 2^(3+5log_2x) = 2^3xx2^(5log_2x) = 2^3xx(2^(log_2x))^5 - as a^(mn)=(a^m)^n or (a^n)^m = 8x^5 Answer link Related questions What is a logarithm?
