PropertiesBecause logarithms are the inverse functions of the exponential functions, properties of logarithms are similar to properties of exponents.

Using Properties of LogarithmsExample 1: Use and to evaluate each logarithm.
a)
b)
c)
**Use the properties of logarithms to re write the expressions so that you can use the given values to evaluate them.

Rewriting Logarithmic ExpressionsYou can use the properties of logarithms to expand and condense logarithmic expressions.
Example 2: Expand
Example 3: Condense

Change of Base FormulaLogarithms with bases other than 10 can be written in terms of common or natural logarithms so that you can evaluate any logarithm using a calculator.
and
Example 4: Evaluate using common logarithms.
Example 5: Evaluate using natural logarithms.

Solving a Real-Life ProblemExample 6: For a sound with intensity I (in watts per square meter), the loudness of the sound (in decibels) is given by the function
where is the intensity of a barely audible sound (about watts per square meter). An artist in a recording studio turns up the volume of a tract so that the intensity of the sound doubles. By how many decibels does the loudness increase?
