M3B11:  What  are  some  logarithmic  properties  we  can  derive  from  logarithmic  tables?                

GROUP  1:  Use  your  calculator  to  complete  the  following  table.    Round  the  logarithms  to  four  decimal  places.

7   0.8451     30    

8   0.9031     36    

9   0.9542     100    

 1.    Calculate  the  following  values.    Do  they  appear  anywhere  else  in  the  table?  

a. log 2 + log(4)    

b. log 2 + log(6)    

c. log 3 + log 4    

d. log 6 + log(6)    

e. log 2 + log(18)    

f. log 3 + log(12)    2.  What  conjecture  can  you  make  when  you  find  the  log  (x)  +  log  (y)?    Example:  log(2)  +  log(4)  =  log(8)      3.  Use  your  conjecture  to  find  each  of  the  following  using  your  chart.  Do  not  use  your  calculator  to  find  the  logs.      

a. log(14)                      b.          log(35)                    c.      log(72)                            d.          log 121

 1.  What  conjecture  can  you  make  when  you  find  the  log  (x2)?    Example:  log  (42)  =  log(16)            2.  What  conjecture  can  you  make  when  you  find  the  log  (x3)?    Example:  log(23)  =  log(8)            3.  Use  your  conjecture  to  find  each  of  the  following  using  your  chart.  Do  not  use  your  calculator  to  find  the  logs.
