Show (logn)(logn)=2(logn)(log(logn))
I am having difficulty understanding how this follows.
(logn)(logn)=2(logn)(log(logn))=nloglogn
Which logarithmic identities are used to go through each equality?
e.g. how do you first go from
(logn)(logn)=2(logn)(log(logn))
and then to
2(logn)(log(logn))=nloglogn
(The log base must be 2 or else this equality won't hold)

For any
1aR+,xy=aylogax,whenever LHS is defined.
Thus,
(logn)logn=2lognlog2(logn)
So your equality follows if the logarithm here is taken in base 2 and not 10 , as you wrote...

Let y=log2log2nn Taking the logarithm (in base 2) of both sides log2y=log2nlog2log2n Now, remember that 2log2n=n. Thus y=2log2y=2log2nlog2log2 Also recall that abc=(ab)c. Thus y=2log2nlog2log2n=(2log2n)log2log2n=nlog2log2n
