Simplify.

Write in exponential form.

x0 = 16. logx x = 1 x1 = x 7. 0 = log

7-3 Hmwk Quiz

1. Change 64 = 1296 to logarithmic form.

2. Change log279 = to exponential form.23

3. log 10,000

4. log264

Calculate the following using mental math.

Use properties to simplify logarithmic expressions.

Translate between logarithms in any base.

Objectives

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

7-4 Explore

Express log64 + log

69 as a single logarithm.

Simplify.

Example 1: Adding Logarithms

log5625 + log

27 + log13

Express log5100 – log

Simplify, if possible.

Example 2: Subtracting Logarithms

Express log749 – log

Simplify, if possible.

Express as a product. Simplify, if possibly.

Evaluate log927.

Evaluate log816.

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

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.

Think: logj + loga + logm = logjam

Helpful Hint

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.

The property above can also be used in reverse.

Just as a5b3 cannot be simplified, logarithms must have the same base to be simplified.

Caution

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

Express as a product. Simplify, if possible.

Example 3: Simplifying Logarithms with Exponents

B. log8420

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

a. Simplify log100.9

Check It Out! Example 4

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.
