Proof: A(log B) = log (B^A), log A - log B = log (A/B)

  • 0:00 - 0:02
    Lets see if we can stumble our way
  • 0:02 - 0:05
    to another logrithm property
  • 0:05 - 0:07
    So lets say that
  • 0:07 - 0:09
    Oh, I dont know
  • 0:10 - 0:11
    Lets say that
  • 0:11 - 0:20
    log base x of A
  • 0:20 - 0:23
    is equal to B, right?
  • 0:23 - 0:26
    That's the same thing as saying
  • 0:26 - 0:28
    That's the exact same thing as saying that
  • 0:28 - 0:37
    x to the B is equal to A
  • 0:37 - 0:38
    Fair enough
  • 0:38 - 0:45
    What I want to do is experiment - what happens if I multiply this expression by another variable - let's call it C
  • 0:45 - 0:50
    Right, so I'm going to multiply both sides of this equation by C
  • 0:50 - 0:52
    I'm going to switch colours just to keep things interesting
  • 0:52 - 0:55
    That's not an X that's a dot - times C
  • 0:55 - 0:58
    So I'm going to multiply both sides of this equation by C
  • 0:58 - 1:09
    So I get C times log base X of A is equal to
  • 1:09 - 1:10
    (multiply both sides, right?)
  • 1:10 - 1:14
    is equal to B times C
  • 1:14 - 1:15
    Fair enough.
