Log Rules

The document lists several rules for logarithms including: the logarithm product rule, logarithm quotient rule, logarithm power rule, and logarithm base switch rule. It also notes that the logarithm of 0 is undefined, the logarithm of 1 is 0, and the logarithm of the base is 1. The document concludes with formulas for finding the sum of a geometric series, noting the formula depends on whether r is less than or greater than 1.

Logarithm product rule logb(x ∙ y) = logb(x) + logb(y)

Logarithm quotient rule logb(x / y) = logb(x) - logb(y)

Logarithm power rule logb(x y) = y ∙ logb(x)

Logarithm base switch rule logb(c) = 1 / logc(b)

Logarithm of 0 logb(0) is undefined

Logarithm of 1
logb(1) = 0

Logarithm of the base logb(b) = 1


log2(2) = 1
Sum of geometric series
a, ar ,ar2, ar3……….

S= a+ ar+ ar2 + ar3 +……….+ ar k-1

When r<1
s=a(1-r k)/ (1-r)

Else
a (r k-1)/(r-1)
