got specific queries?

I love 'em
If you're finding them troublesome, just learn the rules off by heart, and they'll be simple.
Log_a[b^c] = c * Log_a
Log_a = Log_c/Log_c[a]
Log_a + Log_a[c] = Log_a[bc]
Log_a - Log_a[c] = Log_a[b/c]
Now these ones are just extras which are useful to know:
Log_a * Log_b[a] = 1
a^(1/Log_b[a]) = b
And I forgot the most important one, the very definition of a log.
a = b^(Log_b[a])

Hokay, just clearing this up a bit, and adding a few more rules.
Basics first:
log<sub>b</sub>MN = log<sub>M</sub> + log<sub>b</sub>N
log<sub>b</sub>M/N = log<sub>M</sub> - log<sub>b</sub>N
log<sub>b</sub>b = 1
log<sub>b</sub>1 = 0
log<sub>b</sub>b<sup>k</sup> = k
What Keypad posted, but tidied up a bit (easier to read):
Log<sub>a</sub>b<sup>c</sup> = c * Log<sub>a</sub>b
Log<sub>a</sub>b = Log<sub>c</sub>b / Log<sub>c</sub>a
Log<sub>a</sub>b * Log<sub>b</sub>a = 1
a<sup>1/Log_b[a]</sup> = b
a = b<sup>Log_b[a]</sup>
YAY to the QUICKEDIT feature.
and if i made a mistake, please let me know.
Learn all those by heart, you'll have a lot less difficulty. And no, learn off by heart doesn't mean rote learn all of them. Try to understand em. As in think about it for a bit, 'understand' it, and you won't forget it. Logs laws aren't all that hard to learn. Unlike trig rules. :-\

you like em? Easy to read, and i don't mind if you print it and give it to your students.
but we should have this stickied somewhere. So many people ask for this. I myself didn't know any of them till the yearlies for year 11.

ah well. They'll get more when the word spreads around.
Thing is, we can't tell if your a good TEACHER. I mean, sure, you can be good at maths, but teaching is a talent. It doesn't really come with knowledge. You can have a person getting a UAI of 70, but if he inspires his STUDENTS to work, he is a successful teacher. Cause its the student working that will help the student. If the student doesn't work, tuition won't help.
and don't take that wrong. I'm just observing.
