Section 3.4 Properties of Logarithms
Properties of Logs EXAMPLES:
Use exponential notation Raise both sides to the power of c Use properties of exponents Take the log base b of both sides Simplify left side “Back substitute” for x
Change of Base Formula This means you CAN evaluate logs with ANY base!
Write in exponential notation Take log base a of both sides Use Power Rule Dived both sides by “Back substitute” for x
