logba Logarithmic Form
by = a Exponential Form
So…. a and b MUST be positive and b can never equal 1
b and a must be real numbers, b > 0, and b = 1
Always remember……

Commutative
Associative
Distributive
Properties of Exponents
Product of powers:
Quotient of powers:
Power of a power:
Laws of Logarithms
1. logb(ac) = logba + logbc
2. logb(a/c) = logba - logbc
3. logban = nlogba
Ex. log2(3x) = log23 + log2x
Ex. log3(4/5) = log34 – log35
Ex. log536 = log562 = 2log56
If b > 1, then the logarithmic function y =
logba is increasing for all a.
If 0 < b < 1, then the logarithmic function y =
logba is decreasing for all a. This
means that logba = logbc if and only if a = c.
Property of Logarithmic Equations:
LOGARITHMIC EQUATION
an equation that contains one or
more logarithms.
1. Rewriting to exponential forms.
Strategies to solve the
logarithmic equations:
2. Using Logarithmic properties.
3. Applying the one-to-one property of
logarithmic functions.
4. The Zero Factor Property:
If ab = 0, then a = 0 or b = 0.
Example 1: log4(2x) = log410
log4(2x) = log410
Solution:
2x = 10
2 2
x = 5
log4(2(5)) = log410
Checking:
log410 = log410
(one-to-one property)
log4(2x) = log410
Example 2: logx16 = 2
logx16 = 2
Solution:
x2 = 16
Checking:
42 = 16
(changing into
exponential form)
log416 = 2
( )( ) = 0
x = 4, -4
x2 – 16 = 0
Factorization using
a2 – b2 = (a + b)(a – b)
4 x 4 = 16
4 4x + x –
Example 3: log3(2x-1) = 2
log3(2x-1) = 2
Solution:
2x – 1 = 32 log3(2(5) - 1) = 2
Checking:
32 = 9
(changing into
exponential form)
log3(2x - 1) = 2
2x – 1 = 9
2x = 9 + 1
2x = 10
2 2
x = 5
log3(10 - 1) = 2
log39 = 2
Example 4: log5(5x) = log535
log5(5x) = log535
Solution:
5x = 35
5 5
x = 7
log5(5(7)) = log535
Checking:
log535 = log535
(one-to-one property)
log5(5x) = log535
Example 5: log4(12x-8) = 3
log4(12x-8) = 3
Solution:
12x – 8 = 43 log4(12(6) - 8) = 3
Checking:
43 = 64
(changing into
exponential form)
log4(12x - 8) = 3
12x – 8 = 64
12x = 64 + 8
12x = 72
12 12
x = 6
log4(72 - 8) = 3
log464 = 3
Property of Logarithmic Inequalities
If b > 1, then if logbx > logby.
then x > y
Same will also apply to <, >, and <.
If 0 < b < 1, then if logbx > logby.
Then x < y
Example 1: log3x < 4
log3x < 4
Solution:
3 3

Example 3: log3 (4x-8) > log3 (2x+4)
log3 (4x-8) > log3 (2x+4)
Solution:
6x >
4x-8 > 2x+4
4x-2x > 4+8
2x > 12
Pre-test: Answer the following logarithmic expression.
1. log5(4x) = log524
2. log3(10x-9) = 4
3. log6x < 3
4. log2 (2x-1) > log2 (x+2)
Assignment:
Study about Graphing of Logarithmic Functions.
That’s all for today…….
Good day…….

Solving logarithmic equations and inequalities

Hinweis der Redaktion

  1. After this discussion you will able to solve logarithmic equations and inequalities and solve problems involving logarithmic functions, equations, and inequalities. But before we proceed to our lesson proper lets have first a short game.
  2. ARRANGE THOSE JUMBLED LETTERS. I will flash a jumbled letter on the board and if you know the answer just simply raise your hand. The student who got the correct word will be given additional 3 points on their quiz. Are you in favor with that class? Ok Are you ready? Ok the first word is……
  3. 1ST WORD Consist of Equation / Expressions Mathematical Operations Real Numbers Negative and Positive signs
  4. 2ND WORD Has a greater than and less than signs
  5. 3RD WORD We have two types of this…. Common and Natural “ln”
  6. 4TH WORD In Algebra we have commutative, associative and distributive ________________. Log base b of one is equal to zero
  7. 5TH WORD Other word is superscript. The small number or variable that is written on the upper right side of the real number.
  8. 6TH WORD Other name for expression.
  9. Last WORD The product of two integers and all the integers below it. Did you enjoy the game? Ok that’s good, and I know that you will also enjoy our new lesson. Before we proceed to our lesson proper lets have a review about logarithms. What is logarithm?
  10. Why positive? Because a and b are greater than zero (0). A number is greater than zero are positive numbers.
  11. Throughout your study of algebra, you have come across many properties—such as the commutative, associative, and distributive properties. These properties help you take a complicated expression or equation and you just simplify it. Is that clear class. The same is true with logarithms. There are a number of properties that will help you to simplify complex logarithmic expressions. Since logarithms are so closely related to exponential expressions, it is not surprising that the properties of logarithms are very similar to the properties of exponents. As a quick refresher, here are the properties of exponent.
  12. So again, like what I have told you a while ago that logarithms are so closely related to exponentials expressions, that’s why the properties of logarithms are very similar to the properties of exponents. Do I make myself clear class?
  13. 1. Logarithmic Addition Identity – when two logs with the same base are added, we write the argument as the product of the two arguments. The most important thing we should notice here is the base. The base has to be the same. Ok the next rule is…. 2. Logarithmic Subtraction Identity – when two logs with the same base are subtracted, we write the argument as the quotient of the two arguments. And again the most important thing is we have the same base. This is just a review class. No further questions class? Ok lets now proceed to our lesson proper. Solving Logarithmic Equations and Inequalities
  14. There are some strategies to solve the logarithmic equations. The first one is by rewriting it into exponential form; The second one is by using the logarithmic properties; The third one is by applying the one-to-one property of a logarithmic functions; And the last one is The Zero Factor Property: If ab = 0, then a = 0 or b = 0. Ok lets solve some expressions.
  15. How do we solve this equation? We can solve this equation by using one to one property. We have notice that we have the same base for our two logarithmic term. So, we can now just simply eliminate or cancelled out the log base 4. After cancellation we can now rewrite 2x is equal to 10. To get the value of x we can now divide 2x is equal to 10 by 2. Again, we can cancel 2. So, x is equal to (10 divided by 2 is equal to 5). So, the value of x is 5.
  16. Which of the two is our answer? Positive 4 is the answer since log base 4 of 16 is defined. However, -4 is not a solution since log base negative 4 is not defined (the base cannot be negative).
  17. Asked some students to go on the board and solve the given logarithmic equations
  18. Ok lets now proceed to logarithmic inequalities.
  19. When base of the logarithm is greater or bigger than one, then whenever the logarithm of the given expression is greater than the logarithm of another expression we immediately say that this x is also bigger than y. This only happen when the base of the logarithm is bigger than one. The second case or the next rule is when the base of the logarithm is less than zero or less than one. Then, if the log of base b of x is greater than log base b of y, but our base is less than to zero or less than one, our x should be or our conclusion should be x is less than to y. So in simple term or in simple understanding, when the base is less than one or less than to zero our inequality will be reversed.
  20. How do we solve this logarithmic inequality? We can simply solve this equation by simplifying it. Since we have base 3 on our logs, we can simply write big 3 on the left and big 3 on the right. We can now write log base 3 of x less than 4 on the upper right side of 3. since log base 3 is the inverse of 3 we can now simply eliminate this two or just canceled. So, x less than 3 raise to 4 is now our expression. What is the value of 3 raise to 4? 81. x is less than 81.
  21. Asked some students to go on the board and solve the given logarithmic inequality. This is just an algebraic manipulation.
