What is the addition rule for logarithms?

log(a)+log(b)=log(ab)\log(a) + \log(b) = \log(ab)

What is the power rule in logarithms?

blog(a)=log(ab)b \log(a) = \log(a^b)

How to simplify log(10000)\log(10000) using powers of 1010?

log(10000)=log(104)=4\log(10000) = \log(10^4) = 4

What does log(a)log(b)\log(a) - \log(b) equal?

log(a)log(b)=log(a/b)\log(a) - \log(b) = \log(a/b)

How to express log3(10)+log3(5)\log_3(10) + \log_3(5)?

log3(10)+log3(5)=log3(50)\log_3(10) + \log_3(5) = \log_3(50)

What is the correct way to express log(3a2b3)\log(3a^2b^3)?

log(3)+2log(a)+3log(b)\log(3) + 2\log(a) + 3\log(b)

How to simplify log(48)log(8)log(3)\log(48) - \log(8) - \log(3)?

log(2)\log(2) after applying properties of logarithms.

What is the base-10 power for log(xy)=7\log(x-y) = 7?

xy=107x - y = 10^7

What does log(ab)\log(a*b) equal using laws?

log(ab)=log(a)+log(b)\log(a*b) = \log(a) + \log(b)

Simplify log5(20)+log5(1/4)\log_5(20) + \log_5(1/4) using properties of logs.

Result is log5(20/4)=log5(5)=1\log_5(20/4) = \log_5(5) = 1.
