  2. Review of Logarithms 3 logarithm shortcuts 3 logarithm laws

  3. Solving log equations Solving logarithmic equations takes some instinct, which only comes from practice, but to help you get you started, here is a flowchart with some possibly useful steps.

  4. Solving Exponential/Logarithmic Equations Example Ex: Solve for x.

  5. Solving Exponential/Logarithmic Equations Practice Solve these equations for x

  6. Lots o’ Logs

  7. Applications - Logarithms Ex 1. A Sidney Crosby rookie card was purchased in 2005 for $15.00. Its value is set to double every 2 years. When will the card be worth $90.00? In 5.17 years, the card is worth $90.

  8. Applications - Logarithms Ex 2. A certain radioactive element has a half-life of 8.2 minutes. When will there be 1/10th the original amount? In this case y = (1/10)Ao It will take 27.24 minutes for only 1/10th the original amount to remain.

  9. Applications - Logarithms Ex 3. Sarah bought a computer for $2000. Its value depreciates by 18% every two years. a. By what percentage does it depreciate every year? r = 1 – 0.18 = 0.82 This means it will be worth 82% of its value after 2 years. In one year, it went from being worth $2000 to being worth $1811.08. Dividing tells us that it is 90.554% of $2000, or a depreciation of 9.446% in one year.

  10. Applications - Logarithms Ex 3. Sarah bought a computer for $2000. Its value depreciates by 18% every two years. b. When is its value $99? In 30.29 years her computer will be worth $99.
