Do the logarithmic rules work when taking logs of functions as opposed to numbers?
i.e. suppose $f$ is a function and n is a number, is $log (f(x)^n) = n · log(f)$

Of course, because the equality is true for any specific $x$.

Why is it meaningless? Put any constant $x$ and you will get an equality. Two functions are equal if they are equal at all points.

Okay, I guess I understand what you mean. Note that, unfortunately, OP has omitted any mention of $x$ on the RHS.

Yes it will work.
$$log(f(x)^n) = log(f(x)times f(x) ... times f(x)$$
$$= log(f(x)) +log(f(x)) + ... +log(f(x))$$
$$=n times log(f(x))$$
$endgroup$
add a comment |
$begingroup$
Yes, of course.
Because $f(x)$ is still a number for any $x$.
It even works on expressions: for example $log((x^2+3)^9)=9log(x^2+3).$
