What's on the worksheet

  1. Use the laws of logarithms to find each exact value.
    \log_{12} 3 + \log_{12} 48\log_7 245 - \log_7 5\log 0.5 + \log 20\log_5 3 - \log_5 75\log_6 3 + \log_6 8 + \log_6 9
  2. Write each logarithm in terms of p and q, where p and q are given logs.
    \log_b 21\log_b 49\log_b \dfrac{7}{9}\log_b \dfrac{b}{7}\log_b \dfrac{1}{21}
  3. Decide if each statement is true and name the law that gives it.
  4. Word problem: how a slide rule's 25 cm scales multiply by adding lengths.
  5. Show the power law for the cube from the product law only.
