Integrated Mathematics Change of Base of Logarithms
3.6. Change of Base of Logarithms State the rule for the change of base of logarithmic expressions and use it to solve equations involving different bases Syllabus
Find the value of, correct to 4 significant figures: Apply log base 10 on both sides
Re-look into the example: Apply log base 2 on both sides
Re-look into the example: Apply log base 3 on both sides
We can convert to log of any base, c: Apply log base c on both sides
