Exponents & Logs Starting with Log. Non-dichotomous Multiple Choice. What do we know about 9^2? That it is the same as 81 That it is the same as 3^4 That its absolute value is bigger than 9^-7 That there could be a number where 5^number = 9^2. What do we know about 3^1.5?

Non-dichotomous Multiple Choice • What do we know about 9^2? • That it is the same as 81 • That it is the same as 3^4 • That its absolute value is bigger than 9^-7 • That there could be a number where 5^number = 9^2 • What do we know about 3^1.5? • That it is 3 times itself one and one-half times • That it has no real meaning • That 3^1.5 * 3^1.5 =‘s 3^3 or 27 • Is greater that 3^-7
Hmm … Let’s see if we can find 3^? = 8 using a calculator (we know it will be between 3^1 and 3^2, why? Try 3^ ____ is ____ Try 3^ ____ is _____
Using base 3, find the exponents for 3^? for two numbers that you choose See how close you can get? First Number 2ndNumber Now multiply these numbers If we write it as 3^__ * 3^___ then this Should be the same as 3^(__ + __) Try it… Start with same numbers but different base … repeat
Hard way …. Guess and check This is what Log does What power do we raise the base to To get ____ Log ____ base Re-write your quests in terms of logs Try on calc Multiply by adding these results on calc Nice!
