Laws of Logarithm
OBJECTIVES
• Identify the three laws of logarithm
• Illustrate the laws of logarithm
• rewriting single form logarithm to expanded
form and vice versa
THREE LAWS OF LOGARITHM
• PRODUCT RULE
• QUOTIENT RULE
• POWER RULE
PRODUCT RULE
•We have a similar property for
logarithms, called the product rule for
logarithms, which says that the logarithm
of a product is equal to a sum of
logarithms. Because logs are exponents,
and we multiply like bases, we can add
the exponents.
PRODUCT RULE
