We are using these 3 rules (in the same order)

Rule 1) 1/x = x^(-1)

Rule 2) log(x^y) = y*log(x)

Rule 3) log base b (b) = 1 ... ex: ,

-------------------------------------------------------

Log base 6 (1/6) = Log base 6 (6^(-1)) ... use rule 1 above

Log base 6 (1/6) = -1*Log base 6 (6) ... use rule 2 above

Log base 6 (1/6) = -1*1 ... use rule 3 above

Log base 6 (1/6) = -1
