What does Log do to a fraction ?

#

$Log(\frac{a}{b}) = Log(a)-Log(b)$

#

Exactly

#

Well you do agree that Log(T) = Log(10x^2) - Log(zy)

#

To begin with

#

Now let us remember another thing

#

What does Log do to a multiplication ?

#

$Log(ab) = Log(a) + Log(b)$

#

So what can be said about Log(10x^2) ?

#

Yes

#

But we can do even more

#

$Log(x^2) = Log(x \times x) = Log(x) + Log(x) = 2 Log(x)$

#

This is also called Logs power rule

#

Why

#

Well your teacher said

#

$Log(a^b) = b Log(a)$

#

And so $Log(x^2) = 2Log(x)$

#

I just applied another property to find the same result

#

Why I do this is because it's better to memorize as few rules as possible

#

Not as many

#

Log is base 10 in general

#

And Ln is base e

#

What you just said here worries me

#

Coz it comes out of nowhere and doenst make sense

#

Let us stick to

#

Simplicity

#

We get
= Log(10) + 2 Log(x) - ....

#

I let you continue

#

Keep the Log(10) for now we will talk about it later

#

There are no tricks here

#

Just applying the rules we just saw

#

The best way to learn is by doing

#

And making mistakes
