Logarithmic Equations
Suppose I had a logarithm and another logarithm to the same base.
In the equation, one logarithm was subtracted from the other.
I know the way to deal with this is to use the logarithm law of subtraction and write this as a single logarithm, which I can then convert to exponential form.
What I would like to understand is why we can't convert to exponential form immediately without writing the two logarithms as a single logarithm of a fraction, and solve from there.
Could someone explain?
Thanks
