It will explain!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so thats the quotient rule?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

log(x^m) = m(logx) log(1/2) = log(2^-1) = -1(log2)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh ok, wow thanks @AbhimanyuPudi !

OpenStudy (anonymous):

heya @zepdrix ! sup?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

another way to see it is: \[ln(\frac{a}{b})=ln(a)-lb(b)\] when a=1, and b=2; ln(1) = 0 leaving us with -ln(2)
