  1. 8.5Properties of logarithms p. 493

  2. Properties of Logarithms • Let b, u, and v be positive numbers such that b≠1. • Product property: • logbuv = logbu + logbv • Quotient property: • logbu/v = logbu– logbv • Power property: • logbun = n logbu

  3. Use log53≈.683 and log57≈1.209 • Approximate: • log53/7 = • log53 – log57 ≈ • .683 – 1.209 = • -.526 • log521 = • log5(3·7)= • log53 + log57≈ • .683 + 1.209 = • 1.892

  4. Use log53≈.683 and log57≈1.209 • Approximate: • log549 = • log572 = • 2 log57 ≈ • 2(1.209)= • 2.418

  5. Expanding Logarithms • You can use the properties to expand logarithms. • log2 = • log27x3 - log2y = • log27 + log2x3 – log2y = • log27 + 3·log2x – log2y

  6. Your turn! • Expand: • log 5mn= • log 5 + logm + logn • Expand: • log58x3 = • log58 + 3·log5x

  7. Condensing Logarithms • log 6 + 2 log2 – log 3 = • log 6 + log 22 – log 3 = • log (6·22) – log 3 = • log = • log 8

  8. Your turn again! • Condense: • log57 + 3·log5t = • log57t3 • Condense: • 3log2x – (log24 + log2y)= • log2

  9. Change of base formula: • u, b, and c are positive numbers with b≠1 and c≠1. Then: • logcu = • logcu = (base 10) • logcu = (base e)

  10. Examples: • Use the change of base to evaluate: • log37 = • (base 10) • log 7 ≈ • log 3 • 1.771 • (base e) • ln 7≈ • ln 3 • 1.771
