Evaluate Logarithms Notes 12 – Section 7.4
Essential Learnings • Students will understand and be able to evaluate exponential functions using logarithms. • Students will be able to recognize and use equivalent representations of expressions.
Logarithm with Base b Let band ybe positive numbers with b≠1. The logarithm of ywith base b is defined as follows: if and only if “Log base b of y”
Common Logarithm Logarithm with base 10: Logarithm with base e: “natural log”
Example 1 (3-6) Rewrite the logarithm into exponential form.
Example 2 (3-6) Rewrite the logarithm into exponential form.
Example 3 (3-6) Rewrite the logarithm into exponential form.
Class Problems Rewrite each logarithm into exponential form.
Example 4 (8-19) Evaluate the logarithm without a calculator (change from logarithmic form to exponential form).
Example 5 (8-19) Evaluate the logarithm without a calculator (change from logarithmic form to exponential form).
Example 6 (8-19) Evaluate the logarithm without a calculator (change from logarithmic form to exponential form).
Class Problems Evaluate the logarithm without a calculator (change from logarithmic form to exponential form).
Calculating Logarithms (20-27) Use a calculator to evaluate the logarithm.
Exponential vs. Logarithmic • How are logarithmic functions related to exponential functions? They are inverse functions.
Example 7 (29-35) Simplify the expressions using inverse properties.
Example 8 (29-35) Simplify the expressions using inverse properties. The log is base 2, so change 16 into 24 to simplify.
Example 9 (29-35) Simplify the expressions using inverse properties. The log is base 3, so change 81 into 34 to simplify.
