Exploring Properties of Logarithms

What does the product property of logarithms state?

• Log of a product is the sum of the logs.

• Log of a power is the exponent times the log.

• Log of a quotient is the difference of the logs.

• Log of a sum does not have a specific property.

How does the quotient property of logarithms work?

• It divides the logs of the base numbers.

• It adds the logs of the numerator and denominator.

• It multiplies the logs of the numerator and denominator.

• It subtracts the log of the denominator from the log of the numerator.

What is the result of applying the power property in logarithms?

• The exponent becomes the coefficient of the log.

• The base of the log is raised to the power of the exponent.
