Expand and Condense Logarithmic Expressions Expand: is a sum and/or difference of logs. Condense: A single log expression.
Example 2 3x 3x a. b. b. log4 5x2 log7 log7 y y SOLUTION a. log4 5x2 log45 log4x2 Product property + = Power property log452 log4x + = log73x log7y – Quotient property = Expand a Logarithmic Expression Expand the expression. Assume all variables are positive. log73 log7xlog7y – Product property + =
Expand and Condense Logarithmic Expressions Checkpoint 5. log2 5x log2 x ANSWER log2 5 + 5x 6. log 2x 3 3 log x ANSWER log 2 + log3 7 7. ANSWER 8. log6 4 2 log6x log6y ANSWER 4x2 – + log6 y log3 5 log3x log3 7 – + Expand the expression. Assume all variables are positive.
Example 3 a. log 16 2 log 2 – SOLUTION a. log 16 2 log 2 log 16 log 22 – – Power property = Quotient property = Simplify. log 4 = 16 log 22 Condense a Logarithmic Expression Condense the expression.
Example 3 3 log 5 log 4 log 53 log 4 Power property + + = Product property log ( ) 53 4 • = b. 3 log 5 log 4 + Simplify. log 500 = Condense a Logarithmic Expression SOLUTION
