Today we will learn about the rules of same-base logarithms.
The basic rules:
- The Power Rule: k * logb(x) = logb(xk)
- The Product Rule: logbM + logbN = logb(M * N)
- The Quotient Rule: logbM - logbN = logb(M/N)
- The Zero Rule: logb(1) = 0
- The Identity Rule: logb(b) = 1
- The Log of Exponent Rule: logb(bk) = k
- blogb(k) = k
