4

-3

Question 3

Logarithms are the inverse of exponentials.

Question 4

The Logarithm Quotient Rule states:

logb(x / y) = logb(x) + logb(y)



logb(x / y) = logb(x) - logb(y)



logb(x y) = y ∙ logb(x)



logb(c) = 1 / logc(b)

Question 5

Use the properties of logarithms to expand the expression as a sum, difference, and/or constant multiple of logarithms. Assume all variables are positive.

log3 9 * log3 x

log3 9 + log3 x

log3 9 - log3

none of these
