    Laws of Exponents

    Let’s dig deep into our


    memories and try to
    remember the laws of
    exponents.

    Product Rule x  x  x
    m n m n

    Quotient Rule x m  x n  x m n

    It’s all coming back now. I remember this stuff.


    Laws of Logarithms
    What are the Laws of Logarithms?
    Since Logarithms are just exponents
    written in a different form, maybe the
    Laws of Logarithms are the same as the
    Laws of Exponents.

    Product Rule logb (xy )  logb x  logb y


    Quotient Rule logb (x  y )  logb x  logb y
    Power Rule logb (x )n  n logb x
    This looks pretty easy, but how
    does it work with actual numbers?
    Examples of the Logarithm Laws

    Product Rule logb (xy )  logb x  logb y


    log2 (32  8)  log2 32  log2 8

    Quotient Rule logb (x  y )  logb x  logb y


    log2 (32  8)  log2 32  log2 8

    Power Rule logb (x )  n logb x


    n

    May I log2 (8)4  4 log2 8


    press the
    easy button
    Logarithm Laws
    in Action
    1
    1
    log x  log x 2  log x I can do that.
    2
     m
    Express log  3  in terms of log m and log n
     n 
    1
     m  m 3 1  m 1
    log  3
      log    log    (log m  log n )
     n  n  3 n  3

    That one made my brain hurt, but I think I can do it.


    More Logarithm
    Laws in Action
    If log 2 = x and log 3 = y, express each
    of the following in terms of x and y

    a ) log 6 b ) log24
    log 6  2  3 log 24  log(8  3)

    This really isn’t

    1 thought it was.

     (x  y )

    Solving Equations that That sounds
    confusing, but

    Contain Logarithms I guess I’ll give


    it a try.

    If log b A = log b B then A = B

    If log N = 2log x + log y


    solve for N in terms of x and y
    Try to put the equation in the form log b A = log b B

    Undo the power law log N = log x2 + log y

    Undo the product law log N = log x2y


    Drop the log and set
    the numbers equal N = x 2y
    More Equations that
    Contain Logarithms
    1
    Solve for x: log x  log 8  log 7
    3
    Put the equation in the form log b A = log b B
    1

    Undo the power law log x  log 8  log7


    3

    Evaluate what you can log x  log 2  log 7


    x
    Undo the quotient law log  log 7
    2
    Drop the log and set x
    the numbers equal 7
    2
    Solve the equation x  14
    Exponentiating Logarithmic Equations
    I’m not even sure what that means. Let’s give it a look.

    Solve for x: log4 (x  3)  log4 (x  3)  2


    Logarithms are exponents written in a different form

    Undo the product law log4 (x  3)(x  3)   2


    Write in exponential form (x  3)(x  3)  42

    Evaluate what you have (x  3)(x  3)  16


    x 2  9  16
    You must check for
    x 2  25 That looked
    extraneous roots
    x  5 hard at first,
    but it really
    Write your final answer x=5 wasn’t hard
    after all.
