3.3 PROPERTIES OF LOGARITHMS Change of base formula: loga x = logb x / logb a = log x / log a = ln x / ln a Evaluate log9 1043. log10 1043 / log10 9 log 1043 / log 9 3.1630 Evaluate using ln: log9 1043. ln 1043 / ln 9 3.1630 Same!
Properties of Logarithms: loga (uv) = loga u + loga v ln (uv) = ln u + ln v loga u/v = loga u – loga v ln u/v = ln u – ln v loga un = n loga u ln un = n ln u
