Answer:
In Section 6.1, we introduced the logarithmic functions as inverses of exponential functions and
discussed a few of their functional properties from that perspective. In this section, we explore
the algebraic properties of logarithms. Historically, these have played a huge role in the scientific
development of our society since, among other things, they were used to develop analog computing
devices called slide rules which enabled scientists and engineers to perform accurate calculations
leading to such things as space travel and the moon landing. As we shall see shortly, logs inherit
analogs of all of the properties of exponents you learned in Elementary and Intermediate Algebra.
We first extract two properties from Theorem 6.2 to remind us of the definition of a logarithm as
the inverse of an exponential function.
