Logarithm Properties

The product rule: log⁡b(MN)=logb(M)+logb(N)\log_b(MN) = log_b(M) + log_b(N) The quotient rule: log⁡b(MN)=logb(M)−logb(N)\log_b(\frac{M}{N}) = log_b(M) - log_b(N)

The power rule: log⁡b(Mp)=p⋅log⁡b(M)\log_b(M^p) = p \cdot \log_b(M)

The properties apply for any values of M, N and bb for which each logarithm is defined, which is MM, N>0N > 0 and 0<b≠10 < b \ne 1
