Theorem relogmul

Description: The natural logarithm of the product of two positive real numbers is the sum of natural logarithms. Property 2 of Cohen p. 301, restricted to natural logarithms. (Contributed by Steve Rodriguez, 25-Nov-2007)

Ref Expression
Assertion relogmul ( ( 𝐴 ∈ ℝ+𝐵 ∈ ℝ+ ) → ( log ‘ ( 𝐴 · 𝐵 ) ) = ( ( log ‘ 𝐴 ) + ( log ‘ 𝐵 ) ) )

Proof

Step Hyp Ref Expression
1 efadd ( ( ( log ‘ 𝐴 ) ∈ ℂ ∧ ( log ‘ 𝐵 ) ∈ ℂ ) → ( exp ‘ ( ( log ‘ 𝐴 ) + ( log ‘ 𝐵 ) ) ) = ( ( exp ‘ ( log ‘ 𝐴 ) ) · ( exp ‘ ( log ‘ 𝐵 ) ) ) )
