  2. Warm Up Simplify. 1. (26)(28) 214 33 2. (3–2)(35) 44 38 3. 4. 715 5. (73)5 Write in exponential form. 6. logxx = 1 7. 0 = logx1 x1 = x x0 = 1

  3. Objectives Use properties to simplify logarithmic expressions. Translate between logarithms in any base.

  4. The logarithmic function for pH that you saw in the previous lessons, pH =–log[H+], can also be expressed in exponential form, as 10–pH= [H+]. Because logarithms are exponents, you can derive the properties of logarithms from the properties of exponents

  5. Remember that to multiply powers with the same base, you add exponents.

  6. The property in the previous slide can be used in reverse to write a sum of logarithms (exponents) as a single logarithm, which can often be simplified. Helpful Hint Think: logj+ loga+ logm = logjam

  7. Check It Out! Example 1a Express as a single logarithm. Simplify, if possible. log5625 + log525 To add the logarithms, multiply the numbers. log5 (625 • 25) log5 15,625 Simplify. 6 Think: 5? = 15625

  8. 1 1 1 1 3 3 3 1 9 log27 + log 9 log(27 • ) log 3 1 1 3 3 Think: ? = 3 Check It Out! Example 1b Express as a single logarithm. Simplify, if possible. To add the logarithms, multiply the numbers. Simplify. –1

  9. Remember that to divide powers with the same base, you subtract exponents Because logarithms are exponents, subtracting logarithms with the same base is the same as finding the logarithms of the quotient with that base.

  10. Caution Just as a5b3 cannot be simplified, logarithms must have the same base to be simplified. The property above can also be used in reverse.

  11. Check It Out! Example 2 Express log749 – log77 as a single logarithm. Simplify, if possible. log749 – log77 To subtract the logarithms, divide the numbers log7(49 ÷ 7) log77 Simplify. 1 Think: 7? = 7.

  12. Because you can multiply logarithms, you can also take powers of logarithms.

  13. Check It Out! Example 3 Express as a product. Simplify, if possibly. a. log104 b. log5252 4log10 2log525 Because 101 = 10, log10 = 1. Because 52 = 25, log525 = 2. 4(1) = 4 2(2) = 4

  14. 5log2 ( ) Because 2–1 = , log2 = –1. 1 1 2 2 1 1 2 2 Check It Out! Example 3 Express as a product. Simplify, if possibly. c. log2 ( )5 5(–1) = –5

  15. Exponential and logarithmic operations undo each other since they are inverse operations.

  16. Check It Out! Example 4 a. Simplify log100.9 b. Simplify 2log2(8x) log 100.9 2log2(8x) 8x 0.9

  17. Most calculators calculate logarithms only in base 10 or base e (see Lesson 7-6). You can change a logarithm in one base to a logarithm in another base with the following formula.

  18. log27 log927 = log9 ≈ 1.431 0.954 Check It Out! Example 5a Evaluate log927. Method 1 Change to base 10. Use a calculator. ≈ 1.5 Divide.

  19. log327 log927 = 3 log39 = 2 Check It Out! Example 5a Continued Evaluate log927. Method 2 Change to base 3, because both 27 and 9 are powers of 3. Use a calculator. = 1.5

  20. log16 Log816 = log8 ≈ 1.204 0.903 Check It Out! Example 5b Evaluate log816. Method 1 Change to base 10. Use a calculator. Divide. ≈ 1.3

  21. log416 log816 = 2 log48 = 1.5 Check It Out! Example 5b Continued Evaluate log816. Method 2 Change to base 4, because both 16 and 8 are powers of 2. Use a calculator. = 1.3

  22. Helpful Hint The Richter scale is logarithmic, so an increase of 1 corresponds to a release of 10 times as much energy. Logarithmic scales are useful for measuring quantities that have a very wide range of values, such as the intensity (loudness) of a sound or the energy released by an earthquake.

  23. Multiply both sides by . 3 2 Check It Out! Example 6 How many times as much energy is released by an earthquake with magnitude of 9.2 by an earthquake with a magnitude of 8? Substitute 9.2 for M. Simplify.

  24. Check It Out! Example 6 Continued Apply the Quotient Property of Logarithms. Apply the Inverse Properties of Logarithms and Exponents. Given the definition of a logarithm, the logarithm is the exponent. Use a calculator to evaluate. The magnitude of the earthquake is 4.0 1025 ergs.

  25. Multiply both sides by . 3 2 Check It Out! Example 6 Continued Substitute 8.0 for M. Simplify.

  26. Check It Out! Example 6 Continued Apply the Quotient Property of Logarithms. Apply the Inverse Properties of Logarithms and Exponents. Given the definition of a logarithm, the logarithm is the exponent. Use a calculator to evaluate.

  27. The earthquake with a magnitude 9.2 released was ≈ 63 times greater. 4.0  1025 6.3  1023 Check It Out! Example 6 Continued The magnitude of the second earthquake was 6.3  1023 ergs.
