Logarithmic Functions and Properties

The video tutorial explains how to prove logarithmic equations using the change of base formula. It begins with an introduction to the concept of proving equations by making both sides equal. The change of base formula is introduced and applied to transform and prove logarithmic equations. The tutorial includes two examples, demonstrating step-by-step how to use the formula to prove the equations are true. The video also provides additional resources for further study on logarithms.
