Warm Up
Let’s say you had $1 to put into an account
for a year, and the interest rate was 100%.
How much money would you have in the
account if the interest was compounded
once (n = 1)? Twice (n = 2)? Will this
amount continue to grow as n increases?
What’s the best possible value of n? How
much money would you have in the bank at
the end of the year with this value of n?
Compound Interest
Consider an initial principal 𝑃 deposited in an account
that pays interest at an annual rate 𝑟 (expressed as
a decimal), compounded 𝑛 times per year. The
amount 𝐴 in the account after 𝑡 years is given by:
𝑟
𝐴=𝑃 1+
𝑛
Compounding refers to
adding the interest back to
the principal. This can be
𝑛𝑡
done yearly, monthly,
quarterly, daily, or even
continuously.

Definition of Logarithm
Logarithm with Base 𝒃
For 𝑦 > 0, 𝑏 > 0, and 𝑏 ≠ 1, the logarithm with
base 𝑏 of 𝑦 is denoted as log 𝑏 𝑦 such that
log 𝑏 𝑦 = 𝑥
if and only if 𝑏 𝑥 = 𝑦
The base of the logarithm is the base of the exponential equation
Definition of Logarithm
Logarithm with Base 𝒃
For 𝑦 > 0, 𝑏 > 0, and 𝑏 ≠ 1, the logarithm with
base 𝑏 of 𝑦 is denoted as log 𝑏 𝑦 such that
log 𝑏 𝑦 = 𝑥
if and only if 𝑏 𝑥 = 𝑦
The answer to the logarithm is the exponent of the exponential

The general logarithm function is an exponentproducing function. The log base b is the
exponent you have to put on b to get y.

A Few Good Properties
Let 𝑏 be a positive real number with 𝑏 ≠ 1.
Since
𝑏 0 = 1,
log 𝑏 1 = 0
Since
𝑏𝑎 = 𝑏𝑎 ,
log 𝑏 𝑏 𝑎 = 𝑎
Since
𝑏1 = 𝑏,
log 𝑏 𝑏 = 1
Product Property
Product Property of
Logarithms
Let 𝑏, 𝑚, and 𝑛 be
positive real numbers
with 𝑏 ≠ 1.
log 𝑏 𝑚 ∙ 𝑛 =
log 𝑏 𝑚 + log 𝑏 𝑛
Product Property of
Exponents
𝑏 𝑚 ∙ 𝑏 𝑛 = 𝑏 𝑚+𝑛
“The log of a product
equals the sum of the
logs of the factors.”
Quotient Property
