Are the following statements true ?

log(-3) + log(-4) = log12

-log3 - log4 = -log12

Explain why or why not

1 answer

The first equation is not true because there is no such thing as the log of a negative number. No positive number (base) raised to any power can be negative.

The second equation is equivalent to
log 3 + log4 = log12, which is true, since log12 = log(3x4)
