Formula Sheet — Logarithms

Important formulas and equations from Logarithms for CAT Quantitative Aptitude.

Formulas — Logarithms

Basic Definitions and Properties

log_a(m) = x ⟺ a^x = m
log_a(1) = 0
log_a(a) = 1

Laws of Logarithms

log_a(mn) = log_a(m) + log_a(n)
log_a(m/n) = log_a(m) - log_a(n)
log_a(m^n) = n·log_a(m)
log_a(b) = log_c(b)/log_c(a)
log_a(b) = 1/log_b(a)

Logarithmic Inequalities

If a > 1 and log_a(x₁) > log_a(x₂), then x₁ > x₂
If 0 < a < 1 and log_a(x₁) > log_a(x₂), then x₁ < x₂

Applied Results and Problem Solving

Number of integers = a^(n+1) - a^n
