The Multiplied-Logs Error

Video not yet published
to the StudyWalks catalog
State

The multiplied-logs error rewrites log_b(MN) as log_b(M) · log_b(N); the product rule outputs a sum, never a product.

Show

log₂(4 · 8) = 5, while log₂(4) · log₂(8) = 2 · 3 = 6. The sum was right there and the product overshot it.

Builds on

  • Nothing — this is a starting point.

Unlocks

  • Nothing yet depends on this.
