It says to evaluate each of the following without using a calculator:
a) ln√e^3 ( Theirs a little 7 in the ' v ' part of the square root)
b) log_4 8 + log log_4 32
c) log_5√25 (There's a little 3 in the ' v ' part of the square root)
a) ln√e^3 ( Theirs a little 7 in the ' v ' part of the square root)
b) log_4 8 + log log_4 32
c) log_5√25 (There's a little 3 in the ' v ' part of the square root)

a) " Theirs a little 7 in the ' v ' part of the square root"
It's the 7th root. We can replace the radical by raising e to the 1/7 power instead.
ln((e^1/7)^3)) = ln(e^3/7) = 3/7
b) log_4 8 + log_4 32 = log_4(8*32) = log_4(256) = 4
c)"There's a little 3 in the ' v ' part of the square root"
It's a cube root. Replace the radical by raising 25 to the 1/3 power.
log_5(25^1/3) = log_5((5^2)^1/3) = log_5(5^2/3) = 2/3
It's the 7th root. We can replace the radical by raising e to the 1/7 power instead.
ln((e^1/7)^3)) = ln(e^3/7) = 3/7
b) log_4 8 + log_4 32 = log_4(8*32) = log_4(256) = 4
c)"There's a little 3 in the ' v ' part of the square root"
It's a cube root. Replace the radical by raising 25 to the 1/3 power.
log_5(25^1/3) = log_5((5^2)^1/3) = log_5(5^2/3) = 2/3

ln(7th root)e^3 is equivalent to ln[(e^3)^(1/7)]
multiply exponents to get ln(e^(3/7))
natural log is base e so ln(e^a) = a
so ln(e^(3/7)) = 3/7
not sure on b
log_5(cube root)25 is the same as log_5[(5^2)^(1/3)]
simplify to log_5(5^(2/3))
use the same rule as in a and get 2/3
EDIT: the little 7 and 3 or whatever number in the square root just means raise whatever is in the square root to 1 over that number. (i.e. a square root of x with a little 6 in the square root is just x^(1/6)) doing this allows you to manipulate the exponents

Log rules:
log (a^b) = b*log(a)
log a + log b = log(a*b)
log a - log b = log(a/b)
log_a(b) = log(b) / log(a)
For example a:
ln((e^3)^1/7) = 1/7*ln(e^3) = 1/7 * 3 * ln(e)
= 3/7 * 1
= 3/7
For example b:
log_4(8) + log(log_4(32))
= log(8)/log(4) + log( log(32)/log(4) )
= log(2^3)/log(2^2) + log( log(2^5)/log(2^2) )
= (3*log(2)) / (2*log(2)) + log( (5log(2)) / (2log(2)) )
= 3/2 + log (5/2)
For example c:
log_5(25^1/3) = 1/3*log_5(2^2) = 2/3*log_5(2) = 2/3* log(2)/log(5)
log (a^b) = b*log(a)
log a + log b = log(a*b)
log a - log b = log(a/b)
log_a(b) = log(b) / log(a)
For example a:
ln((e^3)^1/7) = 1/7*ln(e^3) = 1/7 * 3 * ln(e)
= 3/7 * 1
= 3/7
For example b:
log_4(8) + log(log_4(32))
= log(8)/log(4) + log( log(32)/log(4) )
= log(2^3)/log(2^2) + log( log(2^5)/log(2^2) )
= (3*log(2)) / (2*log(2)) + log( (5log(2)) / (2log(2)) )
= 3/2 + log (5/2)
For example c:
log_5(25^1/3) = 1/3*log_5(2^2) = 2/3*log_5(2) = 2/3* log(2)/log(5)
