    Indices and Logarithms (Quick Revision)

    Indices

    Indices some call it exponentiation, can be written as


    n
    a

    Laws of Indices:
    Ø a m × a n = a m+ n
    m n m−n
    Ø a ÷a = a
    n
    Ø ( am ) = a mn
    n
    Ø ( ab ) = a nb n
    n
    a an
    Ø   = n
    b b
    Ø Zero index → a 0 = 1 , a ≠ 0
    1
    Ø Negative index → a − n = n
    a
    1 m m
    Ø Fractional index → an n
    = a ; an = ( a)
    n

    Logarithms

    Logarithm can be written as


    log a x = y

    Laws of Logarithms
    Ø log a xy = log a x + log a y
    x
    Ø log a = log a x − log a y
    y
    Ø log a x n = n log a x
    Ø log a a = 1
    Ø log a 1 = 0
    Ø a loga x = x
    Ø log a 0 = undefined
    Ø log a ( negative ) = undefined

    Convert Index to Logarithm / Convert Logarithm to Index

    Convert index to logarithm


    Given x = ay
    lg x = lg a y
    lg x = y lg a
    lg x
    y=
    lg a

    Convert logarithm to index


    Given log a x = y
    x = ay

    Change the Base of Logarithms

    To change the base of a logarithm, two methods are provided.


    log a x
    1. log y x =
    log a y
    1
    2. log y x =
    log x y
