Use properties of logarithms to condense each logarithmic expression. Write the expression as a single logarithm whose coefficient is 1. Where possible, evaluate logarithmic expressions without using a calculator. log 5 + log 2

Guida verificata passo dopo passo
1
Recall the logarithmic property that states the sum of two logarithms with the same base can be written as the logarithm of the product: \(\log a + \log b = \log (a \times b)\).
Identify the terms in the expression: \(\log 5 + \log 2\) both have the same base (common logarithm, base 10).
Apply the property to combine the two logarithms into one: \(\log (5 \times 2)\).
Simplify the product inside the logarithm: \(\log 10\).
Recognize that \(\log 10\) (base 10) equals 1, so the expression simplifies to \(1\).

Ecco i concetti essenziali che devi comprendere per rispondere correttamente alla domanda.

Properties of Logarithms

Properties of logarithms include rules such as the product, quotient, and power rules. The product rule states that log(a) + log(b) = log(ab), allowing the combination of sums into a single logarithm. Understanding these properties is essential for condensing expressions into one logarithm.

Logarithmic Expression Simplification

Simplifying logarithmic expressions involves applying logarithm properties to rewrite sums or differences as a single logarithm. This process often includes removing coefficients by converting them into exponents and combining terms to achieve a single log with coefficient 1.

Logarithms Introduction

Evaluating Logarithms Without a Calculator

Some logarithmic expressions can be evaluated exactly by recognizing values and their relationships, such as log base 10 of 5 and 2. Multiplying inside the log can yield a number whose log is known or easily simplified, enabling evaluation without a calculator.
