What is the value of log_(2√5) 400?

Think it through first, then pick an option.

  1. a 2
  2. b 4
  3. c 6
  4. d 8
Answer and explanation

Correct answer: b 4

(2√5)⁴ = 16·25 = 400, so the value is 4.

Why the other options are wrong

  • a 2: 2 would hold if 400 = (2√5)²; but (2√5)² = 20.
  • c 6: (2√5)⁶ = 8000, not 400, so this option does not answer the question.
  • d 8: (2√5)⁸ = 160000, not 400, so this option does not answer the question.
