Problem: Logarithmic function

Problem

  1. Use logarithmic rule 3 (see cheat sheet) to show that log(x2)=2log(x) .
  2. Use logarithmic rule 5 (see cheat sheet) to show that log(x2)=2log(x) .
  3. Use logarithmic rule 4 (see cheat sheet) to show that log(x1)=log(x) .
  4. Use logarithmic rule 5 (see cheat sheet) to show that log(x1)=log(x) .
  5. Is it true that log(x+y)=log(x)+log(y) ? Test with x=1,y=1 .
  6. Is it true that log(x+y)=log(x)log(y) ? Test with x=1,y=1 .

Remember, log of a sum (or difference) cannot be simplified in any way!
