1. 1) Solve: log 27 x=-2/3 2) Write in logarithmic form: 49 1/2 = 7 3) Graph y = -2(3) -x 1)x= 27 -2/3 x = 2) ½ = log 49 7 3) = -2(1/3) x

2. a 3 a 5 = a 3+5 log a 3 + log a 5 = log a (3*5) (a 3 ) 5 = a 3*5 5log a 3 = log a 3 5 a 5 = a 5-3 a 3 log a 5 – log a 3 = log a (5/3) a 0 = 1Log a 1=0 a x is always positive Log a (~) ~ is always positive!! Adding logs, Adding logs, you multiply them A number in front of log becomes the exponent. Minus logs, minus logs, you divide them Log of 1 is zero, and can’t take log of negative.

3. Recall that if log x 5 = log x y then 5=y log x 25 = 2 then 25 = x 2 Goal is to condense logs to just ONE LOG on each side…. 13) log 4 5 + log 4 x = log 4 60 Log 4 5x = log 4 60 5x = 60 x = 12 CHECK answer! {12} 24) log 2 (x+4) – log 2 (x-3)= 3 8(x-3) = x+4 8x-24=x + 4 7x = 28 x=4 CHECK! {4} 18) 3 log 8 2 – log 8 4 = log 8 b log 8 2 3 – log 8 4 = log 8 b log 8 (8/4) = log 8 b Log 8 2 = log 8 b 2 = b Problems taken from Glencoe Algebra II workbook 10.3
