    Cracku Tip 1 Logarithms, Surds and Indices

    Logarithms, Surds and Indices is one of the easiest topics in the


    quantitative section of the CAT exam.

    Although the number of formulae is high, the basic concepts are very
    simple to understand and apply.

    The scope of the questions that can be asked from this topic is very limited.

    The accuracy of answering questions from this section is very high and well
    prepared aspirants tend to score very well here.

    Cracku Tip 2 Logarithms, Surds and Indices
    If X,Y > 0 and m,n are rational numbers then

    Xm Xn = Xm+n

    X0 = 1

    Xm
    = Xm-n
    Xn

    (Xm)n = Xmn

    Xm Ym = (X Y)m

    Xm
    = (X/Y)m
    Ym

    1
    X-m =
    Xm

    Cracku Tip 3 Logarithms, Surds and Indices
    If X and Y are positive real numbers and a,b are rational
    numbers.

    (X/Y)-a = (Y/X)a
    a
    X1/a = X
    b
    Xa/b = Xa
    a a a
    X Y= XY

    a a a
    X/ Y= X/Y

    Cracku Tip 4 Logarithms, Surds and Indices

    3 5
    Surd is an irrational number involving a root ex : 5, 7, 2

    Like surds are two surds having same number under radical sign.

    Like surds can be added or subtracted. 6 2+ 3 2 = 9 2

    Cracku Tip 5 Logarithms, Surds and Indices
    If a+ b = c+ d, then a = c and b = d

    The conjugate of a+ b is a- b

    a a a.. = a

    a a a . . x times = a1-[1 /(2^x)]

    To find x+ y, x + y should be written in the form of m+n+2 mn where

    x = m+n and 4mn = y and x+ y = ( m+ n)

    Cracku Tip 6 Logarithms, Surds and Indices

    If N = ax then, x is defined as the logarithm of N to base a


    or x = log a N
    Logarithm of a negative number or zero is not defined.

    loga1 = 0

    logaxy = logax + logay

    logabc = c logab

    logaa = 1

    xlogby = ylogbx
