    1. The document defines logarithms and provides some important facts about them: If a and n are positive real numbers such that a ≠ 1 and x is real, then a^x = n defines x as the logarithm of n to the base a. 2. Logarithms are real if n > 0, imaginary if n < 0, and undefined if n = 0. The logarithm of 1 to any base a > 0 and a ≠ 1 is 0. The logarithm of any number to the same base is 1. 3. The document lists several laws of logarithms, including: For positive x, y, a ≠ 1, and any real n, loga

    1. Definition: If a and n are positive real numbers such that a f I and x is real, then at=n->x=log..

    Here x is said to be the logarithm of the number n to the base a.

    E4-6 >l0g,6-3, 10-= 10 =0.1 1og10 0.1=-1,

    = 10g,4,

    D=1=1g, 1=0, a=a=>1og,a=1

    2. Some Important Facts about Logarithms

    Log, is real ifn >0

    Log,n is imaginary ifn<0

    Log,n is not defined ifn=0

    The logarithm of 1 to any base 4,a >0 and a # 1 is zero. Log.1=0

    The logarithm ofany number 4, a > 0 and a # 1, to the same base is 1. Log, 4=1

    Ifa and.x are positive real numbers, where a 추 1, then a.=4

    Proof. Let logx=p. Then, t =a” (By def.) > t = alozer (Substituting the value of p)

    Er. 3lg7 =7, 2029 =9, sh=r

    = ( > 0)

    For a>

    Ifa>l and r>y, then log.r > log.y.

    If0<a<landx> y,then log.x<log.y

    3. Laws of Logarithms

    Forx > 0,y> 0and a>0and a # 1, any real number n

    Log,yy – logx + log,y” Ex. Log,(15) – 10g,(5 x 3) -10g2s + 10g23

    Log,(v)- lognx-10g,y Ex. Log2 C |=10g23 -10g27

    Ex. Log (2)s=51og 2,

    Log,(t)” =nlogt
