SOLVING LOGARITHMIC EQUATIONS Give students ample time to copy these objectives into their notes.

What do we do if we have a variable trapped in a log? Get me out of here! log4 x = 78

Example 1: Solve log5 x = 2

Example 2: Solve 3log8 x = 3

Example 3: Solve log5 (x-2) = 8

Example 4: Solve log5 (x-2) + 4 = 3

How would you handle something like this?

Power Property Product Property Quotient Property

Example 1: Condense the following logarithmic expression.

Example 2: Condense the following logarithmic expression.

Example 3: Condense the following logarithmic expressions.
