PRECALCULUS I PROPERTIES OF LOGARITHMS Dr. Claude S. MooreDanville Community College
CHANGE OF BASE for positive real numbers a, b, and x such that a¹ 1 and b 1.
PROPERTIES OF LOGARITHMS 1. log b (uv) = log b u + log b v. 2. log b (u/v) = log b u - log b v. 3. log b un= n log b u.
PROPERTIES OF NATURAL LOGARITHMS 1. ln (uv) = ln u + ln v. 2. ln (u/v) = ln u - ln v. 3. ln un= n ln u.
