When there is a number before the log it is the exponent of the number being logged.
\n" ); document.write( "example:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"3log%282%2C5%29=log%282%2C5%5E3%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "so $\"%281%2F4%29log%283%2Cx%29-5log%283%2Cy%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"log%283%2C%28x%5E%281%2F4%29%2Fy%5E5%29%29\"$ \n" ); document.write( "
