Section 5.3 Properties of Logarithms Advanced Algebra
Properties of Logarithms • logb1 = 0 • Anything raised to the 0 power is 1. • logbb = 1 • Anything raised to the 1st power is that anything • logbbx = x • Think about as exponent: bx = bx • Rewrite as a log: logbx = logbx
log 1 = 0 log 10 = 1 log 10x = x 10log x = x x > 0 ln 1 = 0 ln e = 1 ln ex = x eln x = x if x > 0 Common and Natural Log Properties
3 More Properties • Product Rule • logbMN = logbM + logbN • Quotient Rule • Power Rule
Write the sum as a single log To use the product or quotient rules of logs, remember, the bases must be the same.
