------------
You need to follow 2 general rules to simplify this
and
---------------------- is a common factor which I can factor out
-----------------
Note that if the base is not specified, it is assumed that
the base of the log is .
Actually, any base is possible to use here, and is the best. This matches the answer
Note that always
-----------------
The main thing to remember is
" logs are exponents " and you read something like as: This is the exponent that I raise to
and the result is .
--------------------- says: This is the exponent that I raise to
in order to get ( obviously it is ) , so
---------------
Hope this helps. I have to keep reminding myself how logs
work to keep it straight. Keep going back to the general
rules and it will eventually make sense.
Write exponents out the long way , too
And on and on . . .
