You’ve gotten good at solving exponential equations with logs… … but how would you handle something like this?
Properties of Logarithms • Product Property • Quotient Property • Power Property The log bases must be the same in order to apply these properties!
Steps for Condensing Step 1: Put everything in the sky (create exponents). Step 2: Combine.
Steps for Expanding Step 1: Separate the combinations. Step 2: Get everything out of the sky.
Quick Recap! To combine: • Put everything in the sky. • Combine. To expand: • Separate the combinations. • Get everything out the sky.
