Logarithms and Log Properties
Definition
y = log b x is equivalent to x = b y

Logarithm Properties
log b b = 1
log b 1 = 0
log b b x = x

b logb x = x

log b ( x r ) = r log b x

Example
log 5 125 = 3 because 53 = 125

log b ( xy ) = log b x + log b y

Special Logarithms
ln x = log e x
natural log

x

Square Root Property
If x 2 = p then x = ± p
