  1. Chapter 10 Section 5

  2. Common and Natural Logarithms Evaluate common logarithms using a calculator. Use common logarithms in applications. Evaluate natural logarithms using a calculator. Use natural logarithms in applications. Use the change-of-base rule. 10.5

  3. Evaluate common logarithms using a calculator. Objective 1 Slide 10.5- 3

  4. We use calculators to evaluate common logarithms. We give most approximations for logarithms to four decimal places. Evaluate common logarithms using a calculator. Slide 10.5- 4

  5. Evaluate each logarithm to four decimal places using a calculator. log 41,600 log 43.5 log 0.442 CLASSROOM EXAMPLE 1 Evaluating Common Logarithms Solution: Slide 10.5- 5

  6. Use common logarithms in applications. Objective 2 Slide 10.5- 6

  7. Find the pH of water with a hydronium ion concentration of 1.2  10−3. If it is taken from a wetland, is the wetland a rich fen, a poor fen, or a bog? CLASSROOM EXAMPLE 2 Using pH in an Application Solution: Since the pH is less than 3.0, the wetland is a bog. Slide 10.5- 7

  8. Find the hydronium ion concentration of a solution with pH 4.6. CLASSROOM EXAMPLE 3 Finding Hydronium Ion Concentration Solution: Slide 10.5- 8

  9. The loudness of sound is measured in a unit called a decibel, abbreviated dB. To measure with this unit, we first assign an intensity of I0 to a very faint sound, called the threshold sound. If a particular sound has intensity I, then the decibel level of this louder sound is Use common logarithms in applications. Slide 10.5- 9

  10. Use common logarithms in applications. Source: Deafness Research Foundation Slide 10.5- 10

  11. Find the decibel level to the nearest whole number of a whisper with intensity I of 115I0. CLASSROOM EXAMPLE 4 Measuring the Loudness of Sound Solution: The level is about 21 dB. Slide 10.5- 11

  12. Evaluate natural logarithms using a calculator. Objective 3 Slide 10.5- 12

  13. Logarithms used in applications are often natural logarithms, which have as base the number e. The number e, (≈ 2.718281828), like π, is a universal constant. Since it is an irrational number, its decimal expansion never terminates and never repeats. Evaluate natural logarithms using a calculator. Slide 10.5- 13

  14. Find each logarithm to four decimal places using a calculator. ln 0.01 ln 27 ln 529 CLASSROOM EXAMPLE 5 Evaluating Natural Logarithms Solution: Slide 10.5- 14

  15. Use natural logarithms in applications. Objective 4 Slide 10.5- 15

  16. The altitude in meters that corresponds to an atmospheric pressure of x millibars is given by the logarithmic function defined by f(x) = 51,600 – 7457 ln x. Approximate the altitude at 700 millibars of pressure. CLASSROOM EXAMPLE 6 Applying a Natural Logarithm Function Solution: Atmospheric pressure is 700 millibars at approximately 2700 m. Slide 10.5- 16

  17. Use the change-of-base rule. Objective 5 Slide 10.5- 17

  18. Use the change-of-base rule. Slide 10.5- 18

  19. Evaluate log317 to four decimal places. CLASSROOM EXAMPLE 7 Use the Change-of-Base Rule Solution: Slide 10.5- 19

  20. Use natural logarithms in the change-of-base rule and the function f(x) = 2014 + 384.7 log2x to find to estimate crude oil imports into the United States in 2008. Compare this to the actual amount of 3571 million barrels. In the equation, x = 1 represents 1990. CLASSROOM EXAMPLE 8 Using the Change-of-Base Rule in an Application Solution: The model indicates total crude oil imports of 3648 million barrels in 2006, which is greater that the actual amount of 3571.
