Staff Review
This lesson explains and derives the quotient property of logarithms and then does several example problems showing how to go from a single logarithm quotient to a difference of logarithms and also from a difference back to a single logarithm. The results are simplified where possible. All steps in this process are explained. Watching this video will not only show you how and why this property works, but it also gives you practical examples of problems using the rule.
