Verification:
The condensed logarithm log₍6₎(4^1 × 9^1) equals approximately 2.000000. This combines the original logarithmic expressions into a single, simplified form.
Quick Examples
Logarithm Properties
Product Rule
log(a) + log(b) = log(a·b)
Quotient Rule
log(a) - log(b) = log(a/b)
Power Rule
x·log(a) = log(a^x)
Special Values
log(1) = 0
log(base) = 1

Understanding Logarithm Condensation
What is Logarithm Condensation?
Logarithm condensation is the process of combining multiple logarithmic expressions into a single logarithm using the fundamental properties of logarithms. This technique is the reverse of logarithm expansion and is useful for simplifying complex logarithmic expressions.
Key Rules
- •Addition: log(a) + log(b) = log(a·b)
- •Subtraction: log(a) - log(b) = log(a/b)
- •Coefficient: x·log(a) = log(a^x)
Why Condense Logarithms?
- •Simplifies complex expressions
- •Makes calculations easier
- •Useful in solving logarithmic equations
- •Essential in calculus and advanced mathematics
Note: All logarithms must have the same base for condensation rules to apply directly.
