Rewrite a numeric logarithm by factoring and expanding a product

Use logarithm properties to simplify numeric logarithmic expressions and estimate values.

Useful logarithm expansion starts with purposeful factoring: expose the largest convenient power of the logarithm’s base and leave a simpler positive factor. The product law then separates those factors, allowing …

Estimate which two consecutive integers a logarithm lies between

Use logarithm properties to simplify numeric logarithmic expressions and estimate values.

Treat the logarithm as an unknown exponent and bracket its argument between consecutive powers of the base. Because a base greater than one produces an increasing exponential function, the exponents …
