Let b and x be real numbers such that b > 0 and b must not be equal to one. The basic properties of logarithms are as follows:
logb 1 = 0
Examples:
log100 1 = 0
log1000 1 = 0
log50 1 = 0
2. logb b^x = x
Examples:
log5 5^3 = 3
log6 6^2 = 2
log 10^5 = 5
3. If x > 0, then b^logb x = x
Examples:
3^log3 5 = 5
4^log4 8 = 8
7^log7 2 = 2
