Product Rule | logₐ(x * y) = logₐ(x) + logₐ(y) |
Quotient Rule | logₐ(x / y) = logₐ(x) – logₐ(y) |
Power Rule | logₐ(x^k) = k * logₐ(x) |
Change of Base Rule | logₐ(x) = logᵦ(x) / logᵦ(a) |
Inverse of Exponential | logₐ(a^x) = x |
Logarithm of 1 | logₐ(1) = 0 |
Logarithm of Base | logₐ(a) = 1 |
Logarithm of Zero | logₐ(0) is undefined (not defined) |
Logarithm of Negative | logₐ(x) is undefined for x ≤ 0 |
Logarithm of Negative Base | log₋ₐ(x) is undefined for x > 0 and a < 1 |
