In this lesson, you'll learn how to expand a fractional logarithm by changing a fraction to a negative exponent. By using the rule that 1 over x is x to the negative first power, we can rewrite a rational expression as a whole number. This allows us to simplify the expression by bringing the negative exponent in front and solving for the logarithm. With this technique, you'll be able to expand logarithms and solve for logarithmic equations more efficiently.
Expanding a log by changing a fraction to a negative exponent
I show how to solve math problems online during live instruction in class. This is my way of providing free tutoring for the students in my class and for students anywhere in the world. Every video is a short clip that shows exactly how to solve math problems step by step. The problems are done in real time and in front of a regular classroom. These videos are intended to help you learn how to solve math problems, review how to solve a math problems, study for a test, or finish your homework. I post all of my videos on YouTube, but if you are looking for other ways to interact with me and my videos you can follow me on the following pages through My Blog, Twitter, or Facebook.
