The Split-Sum Log Error

This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.

State

The split-sum log error distributes a log over addition; logs convert products to sums, and log_b(M + N) is not log_b(M) + log_b(N).

Show

log₂(4 + 4) = log₂(8) = 3, while log₂(4) + log₂(4) = 2 + 2 = 4. The split missed by one.
