use the formula log(base a)x=log(base b)x/log(base b)a and prove each property:
-------------------------------------------------------
a. verify algebraically that log(base a)b=1/log(base b)a
loga(b) = log(b)/log(a)
Note: That equation is true for ANY base.
Let the base be "b":
Then loga(b) = logb(b)/logb(a)
= 1/logb(a)
