Logarithm and its properties

Change of Base
While most scientific calculators have buttons for only the common logarithm and the natural logarithm, other logarithms may be evaluated with the following change-of-base formula.
Change-of-base Formula
Example 1.
Evaluate log5 3. The change-of-base formula allows us to evaluate this expression using any other logarithm, so we will solve this problem in two ways, using first the natural logarithm, then the common logarithm.
Natural Logarithm:
Common Logarithm:
Exercise 1:
It follows from logarithmic identity 1 that log2 8 = 3.
(a) Use a calculator and the change-of-base formula with the natural logarithm to verify that log2 8 = 3.
(b) Use a calculator and the change-of-base formula with the common logarithm to verify that log2 8 = 3.
Answer
Exercise 2:
It follows from logarithmic identity 2 that . Verify this by evaluating log4 7, then raising 4 to that power.

Properties of Logarithms
1. loga (uv) = loga u + loga v 1. ln (uv) = ln u + ln v
2. loga (u / v) = loga u - loga v 2. ln (u / v) = ln u - ln v
3. loga un = n loga u 3. ln un = n ln u
The properties on the left hold for any base a.
The properties on the right are restatements of the general properties for the natural logarithm.
Many logarithmic expressions may be rewritten, either expanded or condensed, using the three properties above. Expanding is breaking down a complicated expression into simpler components. Condensing is the reverse of this process.

Common Mistakes
Logarithms break products into sums by property 1, but the logarithm of a sum cannot be rewritten. For instance, there is nothing we can do to the expression ln( x2 + 1).
log u - log v is equal to log (u / v) by property 2, it is not equal to log u / log v.
Exercise 3:
(a) Expand the expression . Answer
(b) Condense the expression 3 log x + 2 log y - (1/2) log z.
