  1. Section 4.7 Laws of Logarithms

  2. Objectives: 1. To state and apply the laws of logarithms. 2. To use the change of base formula to find logarithms in any base.

  3. x y Exponent Law Product Law xa · xb = xa + b Quotient Law xa÷ xb = xa - b Power Law (xa)b = xab Laws of Logarithms Product Law logb xy = logb x + logb y Quotient Law logb = logb x – logb y Power Law logb xa = a logb x

  4. EXAMPLE 1Change log to a form involving the operations of addition and subtraction. a2b c4 a2b c4 log log (a2b) – log c4 log a2 + log b – log c4 2 log a + log b – 4 log c

  5. EXAMPLE 2Calculate using logarithms. (3.49)12 (82)(4.27) (3.49)12 (82)(4.27) (3.49)12 (82)(4.27) x = log x = log log x = log (3.49)12 – log [(82)(4.27)] log x = log (3.49)12 – [log 82 + log 4.27]

  6. EXAMPLE 2Calculate using logarithms. (3.49)12 (82)(4.27) log x = log (3.49)12 – [log 82 + log 4.27] log x = 12 log (3.49) – log 82 – log 4.27 log x ≈ 3.96966 x ≈ 103.96966 x ≈ 9325

  7. Practice:Calculate using logarithms. Round your answer to the nearest ten. 4.7(8.35)7 13.173 Answer: 5820

  8. EXAMPLE 3Find 57. 1 2 x = 57 1 2 1 2 log x = log 57 log x = log 57 log x ≈ 0.8779 x = 100.8779 x = 7.55

  9. 3 Practice:Find 81 using logarithms. Round your answer to the nearest thousandth. Answer 4.327

  10. loga x loga b logb x = Change of base formula:

  11. log2 5.89 = log 5.89 log 2 EXAMPLE 4Find log2 5.89 ≈ 2.558

  12. Practice:Find log3 19.53. Round your answer to the nearest hundredth. Answer 2.71
