Log rules:
a. Log(x) + log(y) = log(xy)
b. Log (x) – log(y) = log(x/y)
c. Log (xy) = y log(x)
2. Check for extraneous solutions!
3. Substitute variables to simplify
4. Limit and derivative are different
5. If x vs. y is linear, then x and y are related by a linear function.
6. If x vs. log y is linear, then x and y are related by an exponential function.
7. If log x vs. log y is linear, then x and y are related by a power function.
8. Summation notation: watch number of terms very closely
9. Arithmetic partial sum:
