Transcript of These properties are based on rules of exponents since logs = exponents.
I.
Because in exponential form
(any number to the zero power = 1)
Example: = 5 to what power = 1?0
Example: = 0
II.
Because in exponential form
(any number to the first power is itself)
Example: = 5 to what power = 5?1
Example: = 1
III. Product Rule
Examples: = ππππ π₯+ ππππ π¦
=
ππππππ=πππππ+ πππππ
πππ2+πππ36 =
πππ3 9+ πππ3π
Because in exponential form
IV. Quotient Rule
Examples: = πππ5 π₯βπππ5 π¦
=
ππππππ
=πππππβπππππ
πππ2πβ πππ2 3 =
πππππ+πππππβπππππ
Because in exponential form
V. Power Rule
Examples: = 3 πππ5 π₯
ππππππ=ππππππ
=
3 πππ2π+4 πππ2π
Because in exponential form
VI. Change of Base Formula
Example: =πππ9πππ5
πππππ=ππππππππ
These properties remain the same when working with the natural log.
