Aim: How do we use logarithms to find values of products and quotients?
Do Now:
Evaluate to prove or disprove:
log (4.5 + 16) or log 20.5 = log 4.5 + log 16
log (4.5 16) = log 4.5 + log 16
log (4.5 16) = log 4.5 - log 16
log (4.516) = 16 log 4.5

Properties of Logarithms
For any positive numbers M, N, and b, b 1,Each of the following statements is true.
logb MN = logb M + logb N Product Property
logb M/N = logb M – logb N Quotient Property
logb Mk = k logb M Power Property
log (3 • 5) = log 3 + log 5
log (3 / 5) = log 3 – log 5
log 35 = 5 log 3
Note: loga(M + N) ≠ loga M + loga N
Note: base must be the same

Model Problems
Given ln 2 0.693, ln 3 1.099, and ln 7 1.946, use the properties of logs to approximate a) ln 6 b) ln 7/27
ln 6 = ln (2 • 3) = ln 2 + ln 3
0.693 + 1.099 1.792
= ln 7 – ln 27
= ln 7 – 3 ln 3 1.946 – 3(1.099) -1.351
ln 7/27
