CALCULATIONS INVOLVING LOGARITHMS

Because logarithms are exponents, mathematical operations involving them follow the same rules as those for exponents.

Common LogarithmNatural Logarithm
log xy = log x + log yLn xy = Ln x + Ln y
log x/y = log x - log yLn x/y = Ln x - Ln y
log xy = y log xLn xy = y Ln x
log y√x = log x1/y = (1/y )log xLn y√x = Ln x1/y =(1/y)Ln x

  • Example 9: log 5.0 x 106 = log 5.0 + log 106 = 0.70 + 6 = 6.70
    Hint: This is an easy way to estimate the log of a number in scientific notation!
  • Example 10: log (154/25) = log 154 - log 25 = 2.188 - 1.40 = 0.788 = 0.79 (2 sig. fig.)
  • Example 11: log (5.46 x 10-3)6 = 6 log 5.46 x 10-3 = 6 x (-2.263) = -13.58
  • Example 12: log (4.35)1/4 = 1/4 log 4.35 = 0.160
