What are the basic properties of logarithms
π Learn all about the properties of logarithms. The logarithm of a number say a to the base of another number say b is a number say n which when raised as a power of b gives a. (i.e. log [base b] (a) = n means that b^n = a). The...

Using the distributive property from a monomial to a trinomial
In this video series I show you how to multiply polynomials. We will multiply polynomials by using distributive property by multiplying only like terms. When are terms are raised to a power we will apply the product rule of exponents.

Tutorial - Evaluating Logarithms without a Calculator
π Learn how to evaluate basic logarithms. Recall that the logarithm of a number says a to the base of another number say b is a number say n which when raised as a power of b gives a. (i.e. log [base b] (a) = n means that b^n = a). Thus,...
