Evaluating Logarithms
Practice: Evaluate the Logarithm 1.y = log y = log 2 ( ) 3.y = log y = log 5 1
Common Logarithmic Function
Properties of Logarithms 1. log a 1 = 0 since a 0 = log a a = 1 since a 1 = a. 3. log a a x = x 4. If log a x = log a y, then x = y. one-to-one property Examples : 1. Solve for x: log 6 6 = x 2. Simplify: log 3 3 5
Properties of Natural Logs (Ln is the exact same idea as logs. Ln is in base e. Logs are (usually) base 10) 1. ln 1 = 0 since e 0 = ln e = 1 since e 1 = e. 3. ln e x = x 4. If ln x = ln y, then x = y. one-to-one property Examples: Simplify
