1. if n and a are positive real numbers, and a is not equal to 1, then 2. log a n is called logarithmic function. The domain of logarithmic function is positive real numbers and the range is all real numbers. 3. log of 1 to any base is 0 4. log of any number to base as itself is 1, 5. Logarithm of a Product 6. Logarithm of a Fraction 7. log a pn = n log a p 8. a(log a p) = p 9. Base Change Rule of Logarithms: 10.
log a b = (log nb)/(log n a) 11. if the base is 10, then 12. (log a b) × (log b a ) = 1 13. log a b = 1/log b a 14. log (m + n ) is not equal to log m + log n 15. log an p = 1/n (log a p) 16. log an bm = (m/n)log a b 17. log 10 b is called
common logarithm because the base is 10 18. log e b is called natural logarithm. It is denoted by ln b. 19. log 1/a b = -log a b 20. log a (1/b) = -log a b 21. log 1/a (1/b) = log a b
If ax = n, then
log a n = x
log b 1 = 0
log a a = 1
log a pq = log a p + loga q
log a (p/q) = log a p – log a q
log a n = log b n × log a b
log a b = (log b)/(log a)
