1. 3.3 Properties of Logarithms Students will rewrite logarithms with different bases. Students will use properties of logarithms to evaluate or rewrite logarithmic expressions. Students will use properties of logarithms to expand or condense logarithmic expressions. Students will use logarithmic functions to model and solve real-life problems.

2. Properties of Logarithms 1. If then 2. 3. 4. 5.
