Logarithms
The Three Basic laws of
Logarithms to the base
10
Product Property of Logarithms
Study the examples and give your conclusion.
 

log
 

log (5)(7)(x)(y)
 

log 5 + log 7 +log x +log y

Quotient Property of Logarithms
Study the examples and give your conclusion.
 

log
 

log 7 + log x ) - log y

 

log 7 + log x - log y

Power Property of Logarithms
Study the examples and give your conclusion.
log (16x y )
2 3

log 2 + log x + log y

4 2 3

4log 2 + 2log x + 3log y

 If log 2 = p, log 3 = q, log 5 = r and log 7 = s, find an
expression for each in terms of p, q, r, or s.

log 30 log (2)(3)(5)

 

log 2 + log 3 + log 5

 

log 30 pqr
If log 2 = p, log 3 = q, log 5 = r and log 7 = s, find an
expression for each in terms of p, q, r, or s.
   

log log
 

(log 2 + log 7) –( log 3 + log 5)

 

log
 If log 2 = p, log 3 = q, log 5 = r and log 7 = s, find an
expression for each in terms of p, q, r, or s.

   

log log

 
(log 3 + 2log 5 + log 7) – ( 5 log 2)
 

log
Use log 2 = 0.3010, log 3 = 0.4771, log 5 = 0.6990 and
log 7 = 0.8451 to evaluate each expression.

log 21 log 3 + log 7

¿ 0.4771+0.8451
 

log 21 ≈ 1.3222
 
Use log 2 = 0.3010, log 3 = 0.4771, log 5 = 0.6990 and
log 7 = 0.8451 to evaluate each expression.

log 27 3 log 3

¿ ( 3 ) 𝑥 (0.4771 )
 

log 27 ≈ 1.4313
 
Use log 2 = 0.3010, log 3 = 0.4771, log 5 = 0.6990 and
log 7 = 0.8451 to evaluate each expression.

log 27 3 log 3

¿ ( 3 ) 𝑥 (0.4771 )
 

log 27 ≈ 1.4313
 
Fourth Property of Logarithms
   
b=1 2=1
   

5=1 7=1
 
10 = 1 log 10 = 1
 Use log 2 = 0.3010, log 3 = 0.4771, log 5 = 0.6990 and
log 7 = 0.8451 to evaluate each expression.

log 45000 = log (10)(10)(10)(3)(3)(5)

= 3 log 10 + 2 log 3 + log 5
¿ ( 3 ) (1)+2 ( 0.4771 ) +(0.6990)
 

log 45000 ≈ 4.6532

 
 Use the laws of logarithm to express each of the
following as a single logarithm

log 4 + log 5 + log 3

= log (4)(5)(3)
 

log 4 + log 5 + log 3 log 60

 Use the laws of logarithm to express each of the
following as a single logarithm

log 2 + log 3 + log x – log y

 
= log
 
log 2 + log 3 + log x – log y log
 Use the laws of logarithm to express each of the
following as a single logarithm
 
log x + log 3) - log 2 – log y)
 
= log
 
log x + log 3) - log 2 – log y)
log
Properties of
Logarithms with
different bases
 Use the laws of logarithm to express each of the
following as a single logarithm

 
3+2 5
 
= 3 + 25
 

= (3)(25)
 

3 + 2 5 = 75
 Use the laws of logarithm to express each of the
following as a single logarithm
 
5 + 10 - 7
 
= 53 + 10 - 7
 
125 + 10 - 7
 
(125 0) - 7
 
(1250) - 7
Zero Property of Logarithms
   
1=0 1=0
   

1=0 1=0
 
1=0 log 1 = 0
Property of Equality of Logarithms
𝒊𝒇𝒇 𝑴 =𝑵
   
M=N
log (x + 3) = log ( 7 – x)
x+3= 7–x
𝟐 𝒙 =𝟒
 

x=2
Property of Equality of Logarithms
log (3) + log (x – 2) = log (15)
log (3) (x – 2) = log (15)
log  (3 x  – 6) =  log  (15)
 

3 x  – 6 = 15 3 x  = 21 x = 7
