Slide: LOGARITHMS

Slide: 2 ? ? The use of logarithms is a fast method of finding an unknown exponent. Section 7.4 BaseExponent 9 = 81 ? ? 3 = 27 ? ? 2 = 16 Logarithm and its Relation to Exponents

Slide: 3 The use of logarithms is a fast method of finding an unknown exponent. Section 7.4 How can we calculate this? log = = log = = log = = Logarithm and its Relation to Exponents

Slide: 4 The logarithm of a number is the exponent by which a fixed number, the base, has to be raised to produce that number. Section 7.4 a x = y BaseExponent Number log y y a a x x = = Base Number Logarithm (Exponent) Exponential form Logarithmic form Logarithm and its Relation to Exponents

Slide: 5 The logarithm of a number is the exponent by which a fixed number, the base, has to be raised to produce that number. Section = = 625 Logarithm and its Relation to Exponents

Slide: 6 Most calculators can only solve for two special kinds of logarithms, the Common Logarithm (log) and the Natural Logarithm (ln). Section = 100 Common Logarithms and Natural Logarithms

Slide: 7 Most calculators can only solve for two special kinds of logarithms, the Common Logarithm (log) and the Natural Logarithm (ln). Section 7.4 log 1 1 = 0 log 10 = 1 log 100 = 2 log 1000 = 3 Common Logarithms and Natural Logarithms

Slide: 8 Business calculators can only solve for the Natural Logarithm (ln), pronounced “lawn”. ln is to the base e, which is a special number. Section 7.4 Natural logarithm button Common Logarithms and Natural Logarithms

Slide: 9 Business calculators can only solve for the Natural Logarithm (ln), pronounced “lawn”. ln is to the base e, which is a special number. Section 7.4 e 2 = 7.39 log 7.39 e e = 2 ln 7.39 = 2 A logarithm to the base of e is called the natural logarithm. It is abbreviated as “ln”, without writing the base. Simply “ln” without a base implies log. e e = Common Logarithms and Natural Logarithms

Slide: 10 Business calculators can only solve for the Natural Logarithm (ln), pronounced “lawn”. ln is to the base e, which is a special number. Section 7.4 ln 1 1 = 0 ln e e = 1 ln 10 = … ln 1000 = … Common Logarithms and Natural Logarithms

Slide: 11 Common logarithms (log) and natural logarithms (ln) follow the same rules. Section 7.4 Product Rule ln AB = ln A + ln B ln (2×3) = ln (15×25) = Rules of Logarithms

Slide: 12 Common logarithms (log) and natural logarithms (ln) follow the same rules. Section 7.4 Quotient Rule = ln A − ln B ln A A B B ( ( ) ) = = ( ( ) ) = = ( ( ) ) Rules of Logarithms

Slide: 13 Common logarithms (log) and natural logarithms (ln) follow the same rules. Section 7.4 Power Rule ln (A) n = nln A ln (10) 2 = ln (67) 4 = Rules of Logarithms

Slide: 14 Common logarithms (log) and natural logarithms (ln) follow the same rules. Section as a power or 1 as logarithm ln (A) 0 = ln 1 = 0 ln (15) 0 = ln (32) 0 = Rules of Logarithms
