1 Log Page C 8. log a? Definition Notes The Definition of a Logarithm: log 9? log 9? Think: What power do you have to raise 3 to, to equal 9? log 8? log 83? 3 8 equals to what power? b is the base. a is the thing you are logging c is the answer/exponent Switching from Log Form to : Log Form The thing you are Logging equals the Base to the other side. Remember: The base of the log is the base of the exponent. The exponent is the Answer. Log Form log 6? log 6 4? 4 6 equals to what power? 6?? 4 log x x Exponent Laws x 4 Log Form > and for x log 6 x 6 x 4 log 6 4 Set Log arbitrarily x Same Base: Make exponents equal to each other log x x 3 log 6a x 6a a a a x 4 Exponent Laws
