1. 14.4 Properties of Logarithms
1.1. log base (b) (xy) = log base (b) x + log base (b) y log base (b) (x/y) = log base (b) x - log base (b) y log base (b) (x^n) = n log base (b) x log base (b) x = log base (a) x / log (a) b log base (b) 1 = 0 log base (b) b = 1 log base (b) b^2 = 2 log base (b) b^x = x (b) log base (b) x = x. log base (a) b = 1/log base (b) a
