Logarithamic expression concepts-II
; Always remember for base, , (base cant be zero or negative or 1, it can be less than 1 . e.g. 3/2, 1/2) And for negative value log doesn't exist (why??) Reason is simple we cant get any negative number even not get zero whatever be the power of a positive number. e.g. , positive or negative what do you think ??? clearly positive. multiplying 1/2 , 55 times and get positive values. therefore, so, whenever you see a logarithmic expression , ; , and Properties: 1. ; clearly, whatever be the value of "a", 2. ; , 3. and ; 4. Base changing formula:- ( in second term you can take any base) Proof: consider, ; ....................... (i) (by definition) consider, ; let and ...................... (ii) ...
