All Logs and Indices Formulae are on page 21 of the Formulae & Tables Book Point to Note: Logs and Indices are closely linked. Raising a base to a power and finding the log to the base are inverse operations!!
23 = 8 Log 2 8 = 3 2 is the base! 3 is the power!
8 is the number! Formula in Table Book for converting logs to indices or vice versa
y = an Log a y = n Examine the below table and consider the functions f (x) = 2x and g(x) ? log2 x

Some of the Laws are demonstrated in the below table:
Point to Note when solving Index Equations: ax = ay x = y
As long as the same base is on both sides we can equate indices.
