Question 193015: Hello tutor,
Here is the problem:
Is log (ab)= log(a) * log(b)a true statement?
1. choose 2 positive values for a and b, then compute using formula.
2. Explain why or why isn't the statement true

Is log (ab)= log(a) * log(b)a true statement?
No, it's not true.
----------------
1. choose 2 positive values for a and b, then compute using formula.
a = 100
b = 1000
log(a*b) = 5
log(a)*log(b) = 6
----------------------
2. Explain why or why isn't the statement true
Because it's false, as the counter-example shows.
