...by p, we have, 10'' = mr ; whence, by the definition, xp = log mr (8.) That is, the logarithm of any power of a number is equal to the logarithm of the number multiplied by the exponent of the power. 8. Extracting the root, indicated by r, of both members of (4), we have, 10r = whence, by the definition,... | |

...definition, a px _ m p . px = Log m'; . . . . (7) hence, the following principle: 3°. The logarithm of any power of a number is equal to the logarithm of the number multiplied by the exponent of the power. If we extract any root cf both members of (3), denoted by r, we have, a r = / \/m; whence, by definition,... | |

...have, »•— f Hence, log ( — J = m — n, or, = log M — log N. PRIN. 6. — The logarithm of any power of a number is equal to the logarithm of the number multiplied by the exponent of the power. For, since if we raise both members to the nth power, we have, 10 mn _ M * f Hence, log M" = mn, or,... | |

...exponent equal to 3x5; thus, (a i ) i = a 1 i, and, generally, (a") m =a nm . Hence, the logarithm of the power of a number is equal to the logarithm of the number multiplied by the exponent of the pmver. To extract the 5th root of the number a1, we write a, giving it an exponent equal to f; thus,... | |
