LOGARITHM NOTATION Logarithm = Exponent log a b = c a c = b Base “the logarithm is the inverse operation to exponentiation”
10
LOGARITHM NOTATION Logarithm = Exponent log a b = c a c = b Solution
11
LOGARITHM NOTATION Logarithm = Exponent log a b = c a c = b Exponent
12
LOGARITHM NOTATION Logarithm = Exponent log a b = c a c = b Log Sign
13
SOLVING LOGARITHMS log a b = c a c = b 2 x = 16 log 2 16 = x 2 x 2x 2 =16 log 2 16 = 4
14
COMMON LOGARITHM = log 10 log
15
LOGARITHMS Log Rules Relationship to Exponents Applications Richtor Scale PH Scale Logarithmic Growth

LOGARITHMS IN BACTERIA A scientist is growing bacteria in a petri dish, if she started the experiment with 10 bacteria in the dish and it doubles every hour how long would it take for the petri dish to contain 1 million bacteria?
17
HOW MANY BACTERIA? X = number of hours 10(2) x = 1 000 000 2 x = 100 000 log 2 100 000 = x log (100 000) log (2) = x X = 16.6
