When asked to solve a logarithmic equation such as or the first thing we need to decide is how to solve the problem. Some logarithmic problems are solved by simply dropping the logarithms while others are solved by rewriting the logarithmic problem in exponential form.
This topic introduces logarithms and exponential equations. Logarithms are used to solve exponential equations, and so are used along with exponential functions when modelling

logarithms of each side. We then use the rules of logarithms to simplify the expression. First use log(ab) = log a + log b We can now use log a k = k log a to get rid of the powers. Expand the brackets and collect the terms containing x on one side. Use the rules of logarithms to write the solution in the correct form: logl og log logl og log ...
There are three laws of logarithms which you must know. log a x + log a y = log a ( xy ) where a , x , y > 0 . If two logarithmic terms with the same base number (a above) are being added together, then the terms can be combined by multiplying the arguments (x and y above). log 5 4 ) 2 × 4 = log 5 8. where a , x , y > 0 .
-When solving a logarithmic equation, you want to make sure that you contract any logs on either side of the equation. -Once all logs are contracted, exponentiate to get rid of logs. -Solve the resulting algebraic equation. -Check for extraneous solutions. -Since all logs are contracted, we will start by exponentiating.
Using the Change-of-Base Formula, we can graph Logarithmic Functions with an arbitrary base. Example: Properties of Logarithms. 1. log MN = log M + log N. 2. log. 3. log. product rule. quotient rule. 5. log M = log N if and only if M = N . ) . Properties 1-3 may be used for Expanding and Condensing Logarithmic expressions.
