Introduction. In this unit we are going to be looking at logarithms. However, before we can deal with logarithms we need to revise indices. This is because logarithms and indices are closely related, and in order to understand logarithms a good knowledge of indices is required.
Logarithm formulas. = loga x () ay = x (a; x > 0; a 6= 1) loga 1 = 0. loga a = 1. loga(mn) = loga m + loga n. m. loga = loga m. n.
The laws of logarithms. The three main laws are stated here: . First Law. log A + log B = log AB. . This law tells us how to add two logarithms together. Adding log A and log B results in the logarithm of the product of A and B, that is log AB. For example, we can write. log10 5 + log10 4 = log10(5 × 4) = log10 20.

Having previously defined what a logarithm is (see the notes on Functions and Graphs) we now look in more detail at the properties of these functions. The relationship between logarithms and exponentials is expressed as:

a > 0, a 6= 1 and b > 0 we have: loga b = c , ac = b. What does it mean? First of all the assumptions (restrictions) are important. The number a, called the base of the logarithm, has to be greater than 0 and cannot be equal to 1. The number b (which we take the logarithm of) has to be greater than 0.
