What is the change of base formula for logarithms?

Back

The change of base formula states that \( \log_b(a) = \frac{\log_k(a)}{\log_k(b)} \) for any positive base \( k \).

Front

What is the product rule of logarithms?

Back

The product rule states that \( \log_b(mn) = \log_b(m) + \log_b(n) \).

Front

What is the quotient rule of logarithms?

Back

The quotient rule states that \( \log_b\left(\frac{m}{n}\right) = \log_b(m) - \log_b(n) \).

Front

What is the power rule of logarithms?

Back

The power rule states that \( \log_b(m^p) = p \cdot \log_b(m) \).

Front

How do you solve for x in the equation \( 4^x = 17 \) using logarithms?

Back

Take the logarithm of both sides: \( x = \frac{\log(17)}{\log(4)} \).
