Quotient Rule for Exponents

StarStarStarStar

When dividing two powers with the same base, subtract the exponents: anam=anm\frac{a^n}{a^m} = a^{n-m} where a0a\neq0.

StarStarStarStar

Power Rule for Exponents

StarStarStarStar

When multiplying two powers that have the same base, you can add the exponents: anam=an+ma^n \cdot a^m = a^{n+m}.

Change of Base Formula for Logarithms

StarStarStarStar

The logarithm of a number with one base can be converted to a logarithm with a different base: logba=logcalogcb\log_b a = \frac{\log_c a}{\log_c b}.

StarStarStarStar

Natural Logarithm

StarStarStarStar

The natural logarithm, denoted as ln\ln, is the logarithm to the base ee, where ee is the Euler's number approximately 2.71828: ln(x)=loge(x)\ln(x) = \log_e(x).

StarStarStarStar

Power Rule for Logarithms

StarStarStarStar

The logarithm of a number raised to an exponent is the exponent times the logarithm of the number: logb(an)=nlogb(a)\log_b(a^n) = n \cdot \log_b(a).

StarStarStarStar

Power of a Product Rule

StarStarStarStar

A product raised to an exponent means each factor is raised to the exponent: (ab)n=anbn(ab)^n = a^n \cdot b^n.

StarStarStarStar

Zero Exponent Rule

StarStarStarStar

Any nonzero number raised to the power of zero equals one: a0=1a^0 = 1 where a0a\neq0.

StarStarStarStar

Power of a Power Rule

StarStarStarStar

When raising a power to a power, multiply the exponents: (an)m=anm(a^n)^m = a^{n \cdot m}.

StarStarStarStar

Continuous Compound Interest

StarStarStarStar

The formula for continuous compound interest is A=PertA = Pe^{rt} where PP is the principal amount, rr is the annual interest rate, tt is time in years, and AA is the amount on the account after tt years.

StarStarStarStar

Logarithm of One

StarStarStarStar

The logarithm of one, regardless of the base, is always zero: logb(1)=0\log_b(1) = 0.

StarStarStarStar

Logarithm of the Base

StarStarStarStar

The logarithm of the base to itself is always one: logb(b)=1\log_b(b) = 1.

StarStarStarStar

Quotient Rule for Logarithms

StarStarStarStar

The logarithm of a quotient is the difference of the logarithms of the numerator and the denominator: logb(ac)=logb(a)logb(c)\log_b\left(\frac{a}{c}\right) = \log_b(a) - \log_b(c).

StarStarStarStar

Common Logarithm

StarStarStarStar

The common logarithm is the logarithm with base 10, often denoted as log\log: log(x)=log10(x)\log(x) = \log_{10}(x).

StarStarStarStar

Product Rule for Logarithms

StarStarStarStar

The logarithm of a product is the sum of the logarithms of the factors: logb(ac)=logb(a)+logb(c)\log_b(a \cdot c) = \log_b(a) + \log_b(c).

StarStarStarStar

Product to Power for Exponents

StarStarStarStar

Multiple powers with different bases raised to the same power can be simplified: (ab)n=anbn(a\cdot b)^n = a^n \cdot b^n.

StarStarStarStar

Negative Exponent Rule

StarStarStarStar

A negative exponent represents the reciprocal of the number raised to the opposite positive exponent: an=1ana^{-n} = \frac{1}{a^n} where a0a\neq0.

StarStarStarStar

Power of a Quotient Rule

StarStarStarStar

A quotient raised to an exponent means both numerator and denominator are raised to the exponent: (ab)n=anbn\left(\frac{a}{b}\right)^n = \frac{a^n}{b^n} where b0b\neq0.

StarStarStarStar

Inverse Properties of Logarithms and Exponents

StarStarStarStar

Exponential and logarithmic functions are inverses of each other: blogb(a)=ab^{\log_b(a)} = a and logb(ba)=a\log_b(b^a) = a.
