3 Properties of Logarithms Unit 3


EQ: How do you condense, expand, and solve logarithmic equations by using the properties of logarithms?

Since logarithms are inverses of __________________ the properties of logarithms can be derived from the properties of exponents.
 When expanding logs, we want to have multiple logs being added or subtracted from each other.
 When condensing logs, we want to end with one log and multiple variables.

PRODUCT PROPERTY: QUOTIENT PROPERTY: EXPONENT PROPERTY:


log b mn=log b m+log b n m log b m p = p log b m
log b =log b m−log b n
The logarithm of a product (multiplication) is the n The logarithm of the power is the same as the
same as the ____________________ of the logs The logarithm of a quotient (division) is the same ____________________ of the logs
as the __________________ of the logs

Expand

log 9 z=
log 4 x +log 4 m+log 4 9 log 2 x −log 2 m You Try! Condense 4
You Try! Condense: You Try! Condense

Square Roots: If you ever see a square root in a problem, you must convert it to a rational exponent. *Remember – the index becomes the denominator of
the exponent!

Example 7: Expand
log 9 √ 8 z =

Putting it all together: Expand or condense the following logarithms using properties listed above.
log 3 x5 y 7= a3 g6 h2
a) Expand log 5 7 = log 5 5 =
b) Expand b c) Expand k

d) Condense
5 log 2 x +7 log 2 y 6 log 5 g−9 log 5 b f) Condense
7 log 4 x +log 4 y−6 log 4 z
e) Condense

RULE: If there are multiple logs on the same side of an equation, ___________________ before solving, then apply the rules from Day 1 (cancel, swoosh, or
evaluate)

Example 9:
log 3 5−log 3 x=log 3 10 Example 10:
4 log 2 x +log 2 5=log 2 405

√ x5 y6 2. Condense
4 log 2 c +8 log 2 d−log 2 e 3log 5 x - log5 4 = log 5 16
3. Solve for x:
log 3 =
1. Expand z7

4. Solve for x: log a = log (4a - 9)

6. Solve for x:
5log19 2 - log 19 x = log 19 8
5. Solve for x: log (-3m - 1) = log( -4m - 6)
