If M = a x and N = a y, then

MN = a x a y = a x + y.
By the definition of logarithm, MN = a x + y is equivalent to log a (MN ) = x + y. Since M = a x, we have x = log a (M ), and since N = a y, we have y = log a (N ). So log a (MN ) = log a (M ) + log a (N ).

If M = ax ; N = ay then: Multiplying M & N MN = ax +ay Taking a as common ax +ay = ax+y By the definition of logarithm,
