Properties of Logarithms

logb1 = 0 Anything raised to the 0 power is 1.

logbb = 1 Anything raised to the 1st power is that anything

logbbx = x Think about as exponent: bx = bx

Rewrite as a log: logbx = logbx

xb xb log

Common and Natural Log Properties

log 1 = 0

log 10 = 1

log 10x = x

10log x = x x > 0

ln 1 = 0

ln e = 1

ln ex = x

eln x = x if x > 0
