Basic properties of
Logarithms
Let b and x be real numbers
such that b > 0 and b≠1, the
basic properti es of logarithms are as
follows:

1) =0
2) ᵡ=x
3) if X>0, then bьᵡ=x
Use the basic properties of logarithms to find
the value of the following logarithmic
expressions.
1) =0 2) ᵡ = x 3. if x>0, then bᶩᵒᵍᵇ = x
