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?
