Estimate the product by using the
compatible whole number shown below.
4 x 9
x9 ~
x 8
The estimated product is [?].

take the logarithm of both sides (the base of the log doesn't matter):

apply the exponent property - this says that :

distribute the log terms on both sides:

group like terms together:

divide through both sides by the coefficient on :

you can do some additional rewriting here using the properties of the logarithm to simplify things if you like:

the answer is b.6
