Condensing Logarithmic Expressions

Combining multiple logarithmic terms into a single term using properties like product, quotient, and power rules.

Product Rule of Logarithms

logₐ(MN) = logₐ(M) + logₐ(N). Log of a product is the sum of logs.

Quotient Rule of Logarithms

logₐ(M/N) = logₐ(M) - logₐ(N). Log of a quotient is the difference of logs.

Power Rule of Logarithms

logₐ(M^k) = k * logₐ(M). Exponent inside the log becomes a multiplier outside.
