Properties /Laws of
Logarithms
The Three Basic laws of
Logarithms to the base
10
Properties of Logarithms
with different bases
 Use the laws of logarithm to express each of the following as a
single logarithm

 
3+2 5
 
= 3 + 25
 

= (3)(25)
 

3 + 2 5 = 75
 Use the laws of logarithm to express each of the following as a
single logarithm
 
5 + 10 - 7
 
= 53 + 10 - 7
 
125 + 10 - 7
 
(125 0) - 7
 
(1250) - 7
Zero Property of Logarithms
   
1=0 1=0
   

1=0 1=0
 
1=0 log 1 = 0
Property of Equality of Logarithms
𝒊𝒇𝒇 𝑴 =𝑵
   
M=N
log (x + 3) = log ( 7 – x)
x+3= 7–x
𝟐 𝒙 =𝟒
 

x=2
Property of Equality of Logarithms
log (3) + log (x – 2) = log (15)
log (3) (x – 2) = log (15)
log  (3 x  – 6) =  log  (15)
 

3 x  – 6 = 15 3 x  = 21 x = 7
