Página 32 - The logarithm of any POWER of a number is equal to the product of the logarithm of the number by the exponent of the power. For let m be any number, and take the equation (Art. 9) M—cf, then, raising both sides to the mth power, we have Mm = (a*)"1 = a™ . Therefore, log (Mm) = xm = (log M) X m.
Página 31 - Suppose a' = n, then x is called the logarithm of n to the base a; thus the logarithm of a number to a given base is the index of the power to which the base must be raised to be equal to the number. The logarithm of n to the base a is written Iog0 n ; thus loga n — x expresses the same relation as a1 = n.
