5.5 Objectives Apply the base properties of logarithms. Use the change of base formula.
2
Properties of Logarithms 1)log a 1=0 and log a a=1 2)log a m+log a n=log a (mn) 3)log a m-log a n=log a (m/n) 4)log a (m r )=rlog a m ln = log e (natural log)
3
Change of base formula Let x, a, and b be positive numbers....where a≠ 1 and b≠ 1.
4
Try these ln 5+ ln 4log 10-log 5
5
And more… log 5 2 log 5 + log 15 – log 10
7
5.6 Objectives Solve exponential equations Solve logarithmic equations.
8
Exponential Equations Basic form: Ca x = k 1)Solve for a x 2)take the base a log of both sides, which makes the a x equal x because.. log a a x = x 3)Solve the other side
10
Try these Log (2x+1) =2
11
Try these Log 2 4x = 2-log 2 x
12
Logarithmic equations Basic form: C log a x = k. 1)Solve for log a x. 2)Exponentiate each side with base a. This makes the log a x side equal x because a log a x = x 1)Solve.
13
Try these log x + log (2x+1) = log 72log 2 3x= 1
14
5.7 Objectives Find an exponential model. Find a logarithmic model.
15
Types of models Exponential – f(x) = Ca x – Can be used to model data that increase or decrease rapidly over time Logarithmic – f(x) = a + b log x – Can be used to model data that increase gradually over time Logistic – f(x) = – Can be used to model data that at first increase slowly, then increase rapidly, and finally level of
16
Exponential model f(x) = Ca x
17
Logarithmic model f(x) = a + b log x
18
Logistic model
