Some of the logarithmic properties most used to solve equations are the following.
1) log (a) ^ b = b * log (a)
2) log (a * b) = log (a) + log (b)
3) log (a / b) = log (a) - log (b)
These logarithmic properties can be used to solve equations.
For example:
2 ^ x = 56
If we apply to this equation the logarithm function on both sides that we have left
log (2) ^ x = log (56)
This function is equivalent to the first.
If we now apply the property 1) of the previous logarithms, we can reveal x of the equation.
x * log (2) = log (56)
x = log (56) / log (2)
x = 5,807
Thus, thanks to the properties of the logarithms, this exponential function could be solved
