For what values of zz is it true that ((a)) Log(z1z2)=Log(z1)−Log(z2)\mathrm{Log}\left(\frac{z_1}{z_2}\right) = \mathrm{Log}(z_1) - \mathrm{Log}(z_2)? Why? ((b)) ddzLog(z)=1z\frac{d}{dz}\mathrm{Log}(z) = \frac{1}{z}? Why? ((c)) Log(1z)=−Log(z)\mathrm{Log}\left(\frac{1}{z}\right) = -\mathrm{Log}(z)? Why?
