The document provides a comprehensive overview of logarithms, including definitions, basic formulas, and their behavior based on the value of the base 'a'. It outlines key properties of logarithms, such as loga1 = 0 and logaa = 1, as well as the behavior of logarithmic functions as N approaches different limits. Additionally, it includes guidelines for solving logarithmic equations and presents logarithmic series expansions.

LOGARITHMS BO-M-MI-421
MIND MAP
Definition: Basic formulae: Behaviour:
a = N loga N = x x loga1 = 0 When a > 1, x increases as N increases; where a > 0, a 1 logaa = 1 logaN as N 0+ and consequently N > 0 a loga N = N When 0 < a < 1, x decreases when a = 10, common logarithm loga (mn) = logam + logan as N increases ; loga (m/n) = logam logan logaN as N 0+ when a = e, Naperian logarithm logaN > 0 logab mn = n loga m b when a > 1 and N > 1 logam = (logbm) (logab) or 0 < a < 1 and 0 < N < 1 1 logaN < 0 logba = log a b when 0 < a < 1 and N > 1 or a > 1 and 0 < N < 1.
LOGARITHMS
While solving logarithmic equations Logarithmic series:
or inequations, initial conditions on x2 x3 x 4 the variables must be written log (1 x ) x ..... 2 3 4 and/or final solution must be back 1 < x 1 checked in the given equation. x2 x3 x 4 log (1 x ) x .. 2 3 4 1 x < 1
