Explain how the logarithmic property $ ext{log}_a(mn) = ext{log}_a m + ext{log}_a n$ can be applied to simplify $ ext{log}_3(27)$.
Explain how the logarithmic property $ ext{log}_a(mn) = ext{log}_a m + ext{log}_a n$ can be applied to simplify $ ext{log}_3(27)$.
$ ext{log}_3(27) = ext{log}_3(3 imes 9) = ext{log}_3(3) + ext{log}_3(9) = 1 + 2 = 3$
Using the property $ ext{log}_a rac{m}{n} = ext{log}_a m - ext{log}_a n$, determine how to solve $ ext{log}_5 rac{25}{5}$.
Using the property $ ext{log}_a rac{m}{n} = ext{log}_a m - ext{log}_a n$, determine how to solve $ ext{log}_5 rac{25}{5}$.
$ ext{log}_5 rac{25}{5} = ext{log}_5(25) - ext{log}_5(5) = 2 - 1 = 1$
Illustrate how to apply the rule $ ext{log}_a(m^n) = n ext{log}_a m$ to calculate $ ext{log}_2(64)$.
Illustrate how to apply the rule $ ext{log}_a(m^n) = n ext{log}_a m$ to calculate $ ext{log}_2(64)$.
$ ext{log}_2(64) = ext{log}_2(2^6) = 6 imes ext{log}_2(2) = 6 \ (\text{since } \text{log}_2(2) = 1)$
