Lesson 5-6 Law of Logarithms
Remember: Logs are inversesof exponentials.
Remember: Logs are inversesof exponentials. Therefore, all the rules of exponents will also work for logs.
Laws of Logarithms: If M and N are positive real numbers and bis a positive number other than 1, then:

Example: Express logbMN2 in terms of logbM and logbN.
Example: Express logbMN2 in terms of logbM and logbN. 1st: Recognize that you are taking the logof a product (M)(N2) So we can split that up as an addition of two separate logs!
Example: Express logbMN2 in terms of logbM and logbN. 1st: Recognize that you are taking the logof a product (M)(N2) So we can split that up as an addition of two separate logs! Logb MN2 = logbM + logbN2
Example: Express logbMN2 in terms of logbM and logbN. 1st: Recognize that you are taking the logof a product (M)(N2) So we can split that up as an addition of two separate logs! Logb MN2 = logbM + logbN2 Now, recognize that we have a power on the number in the 2nd log. = logbM + 2logbN
Example: Now the domain of all log statements is (0, ∞) x ≠ - 2 so x = 4 is the only solution.
