Because logarithms are inverses of exponential functions, the properties that apply to exponents also apply to logs. Product Property: Quotient Property: Power Property:
We can use the properties of logarithms to expand or condense an expression.

The Change of Base Formula is a very useful method for evaluating any logarithm. Evaluate.
Logarithms can be used to determine sound intensity I (in watts per square meter) and decibel levels (dB). L(I) = loudness (dB) I = intensity (in W/m2) I0 = the threshold of human hearing (≈ 10-12) A crying baby has a sound intensity of about 3.2 x 102 W/m2. Find the decibel level.
