Show that logaMN=logaM-logaN,where a, M, and N are positive real numbers anda≠1.

Short Answer

Expert verified

It is proved that logaMN=logaM-logbNwhere a, M, and N are positive real numbers anda≠1.

Step by step solution

01

Step 1. Applying law of Exponents.

Let A=logaM&B=logaN. These expressions are equivalent to exponential expressions aM&aB=N.

To prove logaMN=logaM-logaN.

Consider the Left hand side and substitute aA for M and aB for N.

logaMN=logaaAaB=logaaA×a-B=logaaA-B(Usinglawofexponents)

02

Step 2. Applying the property of logarithms : logaar=r.

Applying the property of logarithms in the previous step.

logaMN=logaaA-B=A-B=logaM-logbN(SubstitutingA=logaM&B=logaN)

Hence it is proved that logaMN=logaM-logaN.
