1. (a)<br />
You should know the following properties of logarithms.<br />
(a)<br />
(b)<br />
(c)<br />
log a x log b x<br />
log b a<br />
log a uv log a u log a v<br />
log a uv log a u log a v<br />
lnuv ln u ln v<br />
lnuv ln u ln v<br />
(d) log a u n n log a u<br />
ln u n n ln u<br />
You should be able to rewrite logarithmic expressions using these properties.<br />
