Problem: Logarithmic function
Problem
- Use logarithmic rule 3 (see cheat sheet) to show that log(x2)=2log(x) .
- Use logarithmic rule 5 (see cheat sheet) to show that log(x2)=2log(x) .
- Use logarithmic rule 4 (see cheat sheet) to show that log(x−1)=−log(x) .
- Use logarithmic rule 5 (see cheat sheet) to show that log(x−1)=−log(x) .
- Is it true that log(x+y)=log(x)+log(y) ? Test with x=1,y=1 .
- 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!
