Prove that for the logarithm to base b the following calculation rules hold.

  1. We have logb(bx)=x and blogb(y)=y, ie, the logarithm to base b is the inverse to the exponential function to the base b.
  2. We have logb(yz)=logby+logbz.
  3. We have logbyu=ulogby for u.
  4. We have
    logay=loga(blogby)=logbylogab.
