1. Aim: Log Products & Quotients Course: Alg. 2 & Trig. Aim: How do we use logarithms to find values of products and quotients? Do Now: Evaluate to prove or disprove: log (4.5 + 16) or log 20.5 = log 4.5 + log 16 log (4.5  16) = log 4.5 + log 16 log (4.5  16) = log 4.5 - log 16 log (4.5 16 ) = 16 log 4.5

2. Aim: Log Products & Quotients Course: Alg. 2 & Trig. Properties of Logarithms For any positive numbers M, N, and b, b  1, Each of the following statements is true. log b MN = log b M + log b NProduct Property log b M/N = log b M – log b NQuotient Property log b M k = k log b MPower Property log (3 5) = log 3 + log 5 log (3 / 5) = log 3 – log 5 log 3 5 = 5 log 3 Note: log a (M + N) ≠ log a M + log a N Note: base must be the same
