Logarithms

OpenStudy (anonymous):

f(x) = log(x^2) g(x) = 2logx I think f(x) is not equal to g(x) Is it correct

It came in some IIT paper

OpenStudy (sidsiddhartha):

nope f(x) is equal to log x becuse \[\log(x ^{a})=a*\log(x)\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it is equal,cuz log m ^n=n log m

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Logarithm of negative numbers isn't defined

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No but f(x) is defined for both positive and negative values of x You square a negative u get positive But g(x) only defined for "ONLY" positive values for x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Can we think about it that way

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no....according to me.......

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Equal or not equal

OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):

it is absolutely equal

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think it is not because f(x) is defined for both positive and negative values of x You square a negative u get positive But g(x) only defined for "ONLY" positive values for x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I know that property

OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):

correct....but not for negative values because argument is always greater than 0(argument>0)

OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):

\[\large \bf \log_{10}-2=~ ~is~NOT~possible\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes that's what i am saying so they are not equal You square a negative you still get positive Note that they are functions
