Objective: To learn and apply the properties of logarithms.

Real-World Connection
Logarithms are used in applications involving sound intensity &
decibel level.
![Page 3: Lesson 3.3, page 400 Properties of Logarithms](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062400/56814c29550346895db93025/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Think about this…
If a logarithm is the inverse of an exponential, what do you think we can surmise about the properties of
logarithms?
They should be the inverse of the properties of exponents! For example, if we add exponents when we multiply in the same base, what would we do to
logs when they are being multiplied?

PRODUCT RULE, page 400
Product Property: logb(MN) = logbM + logbN
The logarithm of a product is the sum of the logarithms of the factors.
Ex) logbx3 + logby =

QUOTIENT RULE, page 401
Quotient Propertylogb(M/N) = logbM – logbN
The logarithm of a quotient is the logarithm of the numerator minus the logarithm of the denominator.
Ex) log2w - log216 =

Condensing Logarithmic Expressions(See blue box on page 404.)
We can also use the properties of logarithms to condense expressions or “write as a single logarithm”.
See Example 5, page 404.

Change of Base Formula
The 2 bases we are most able to calculate logarithms for are base 10 and base e. These are the only bases that our calculators have buttons for.
For ease of computing a logarithm, we may want to switch from one base to another using the formula
log lnlog or loglog lnb b
