What is a shortcut to see if a number is evenly divisible by 3?
If the sum of all the digits is divisible by 3, then full number is divisible by 3.
Explain distributive property
a * (b + c) = a * b + a * c
How would you make an equivalent expression using subtraction rather than addition.
Subtraction is adding the opposite. so a + b = a - (-b)
How do you get the log of two products?
logb(x∗y)=logb(x)+logb(y)
How you get the log of a fraction?
logb(x/y)=logb(x)−logb(y)
How do you get the log of a power?
logb(x^y)=y∗logb(x)
How do you change the base of a log?
logb(x)=logc(x)/logc(b) changes from base b to base c
Using a log base of whatever, divide the log of your number by the log of your new base.
