Example Find the pattern. 4.4 - Laws of Logarithms
The Product Rule • Let a be a positive number with a 1. Let A, B, and C be any real number with A > 0 and B > 0. • This means, the logarithm of a product of numbers is the sum of logarithms of the numbers. 4.4 - Laws of Logarithms
Example Find the pattern. 4.4 - Laws of Logarithms
The Quotient Rule • Let a be a positive number with a 1. Let A, B, and C be any real number with A > 0 and B > 0. • This means, the logarithm of a quotient of numbers is the difference of logarithms of the numbers. 4.4 - Laws of Logarithms
