OpenStudy (alekos):

that's a lot of questions, where would you like to start?

OpenStudy (alekos):

ok Q1 the laws of logs say log(x/y) = logx - logy, so what do you think?

OpenStudy (alekos):

that's ok i can help you to understand it. lets do this together Law 1 log(x/y) = logx - logy we need to know log(a/2) so x=a and y=2 what do you reckon?

OpenStudy (alekos):

so you dont know what a logarithm is?

OpenStudy (alekos):

If 10^2 = 10x10 = 100 then the log of 100 will be 2 i.e log100 = 2 (when we use base 10)

OpenStudy (alekos):

do you follow?

OpenStudy (alekos):

in other words if we're looking for the logarithm of 100 we need to find the exponent that we use for 10, which in this case is 2

OpenStudy (alekos):

so for 10^3 = 1000 the exponent we use is 3 which is also the log log1000 = 3

OpenStudy (alekos):

10^1 = 10 so log10=1 can you see the pattern?

OpenStudy (timaashorty):

What lesson is this?

OpenStudy (alekos):

logarithms

Natural Logarithms Quiz ?

OpenStudy (alekos):

so now you understand how they're derived. from here there are a number of rules such as log(x/y) = logx - logy

OpenStudy (timaashorty):

I would help but my teacher is still grading it and I can't view it.

OpenStudy (timaashorty):

I'll take a look at them and see, and also alekos is already helping you, I don't want to cut him/her.

OpenStudy (alekos):

if you just give out the answers then jamie wont understand why

OpenStudy (timaashorty):

That is true. I'm sorry to get in between. Good luck teaching him (:

OpenStudy (alekos):

how are going jamie? getting there?
