    Can anyone teach my logarithms? My algebra 2 class last year failed to teach me logs and conics (except for parabolas) which I'll need to know for precalc next year.

    Sooo, yeah.

    Well at my school we took Algebra II/Trigonometry. That's when I took all the log related stuff.

    i can tell u all i know about logs (its not very much BTW)

    >> loga(base)n=x means that a^x=n

    >>
    * loga(base)1=0
    * loga(base)a=1

    >> log10(base)x is sometimes written as logx

    >> The laws of logarithms are:

    * loga(base)xy= loga(base)x+loga(base)y .... the multiplication rule

    * loga(base)x/y= loga(base)x-loga(base)y .... the division law

    * loga(base)x^k= kloga(base)x .... the power law

    these are very similar to the indices laws

    >> From the power law, loga(base)1/x=-loga(base)x

    >> to change a base of a log:-
    * loga(base)x=logb(base)x/logb(base)a ... where b is the base u wanna change it to

    >> from the changing the base rule.... loga(base)b=1/logb(base)a

    >> Then of course u have ln and e... but i'm not sure if u need to know 'em or not

    meh, hope i helped :S

    its just a fancy way to write an exponent ...

    for example:

    log 5 25 = 2

    is the same as 5^2 = 25

    Algerbra is EASY, I learned it in eigth grade, and I'm the top of my math class.
    It's SIMPLE like a pie.
    It's as easy as solving equations!
