The rules for exponents apply to logarithms. In your own words, state the five rules of logarithms and give a unique example to illustrate at least two of the rules.
log(ab)=log a+log b
log(a^b)=log a log b
log(a/b)=log a -log b (I think, may be wrong)
The second law you have posted is incorrect. log(a)^b = b*log(a)
You can use an example of Inverse properties, product, quotient, or power
the basic definition of logairtms is also a rule
and the last rule is the logarithm base changing rule (has to do with division). I just listed them all, so you should be able to do the rest.
x^0 = 1 then ln(1) = 0
\[10^{\log _{10}x} = x\]
Product: \[\log(a \times b)=\log(a)+\log(b)\] Quotient: \[\log(a-b)=\frac{\log(a)}{\log(b)}\] Power: \[\log(a)^b=b \times \log(a)\] I couldn't be bothered writing out the last. ^_^
Thanks (:
