      Most mathematicians will take Ln of both sides to be able to use y, but the base of the logarithm really doesn’t matter. Instead of Ln, you could use any other base for e as Flammy said. But using Ln for this purpose is kind of more universal

      (2 + 6i)/(2i)
      = 1/i + 3
      = 3 - i
      Which is still imaginary. You'd only end up with a real solution this way:
      Suppose two complex numbers
      z_1 = a + bi
      z_2 = c + di
      Then
      z_1/z_2
      = (a + bi)/(c + di)
      = [(a + bi)/(c + di)] * [(c - di)/(c - di)]
      = (ac - adi + cbi - bdi²)/(c² - d²i²)
      = (ac + bd - adi + cbi)/(c² + d²)
      The denominator is always real. The enumerator is only real if
      ad = cb
      For example: 4*1 = 2*2
      (4 + 2i)/(2 + i)
      = [(4 + 2i)*(2 - i)]/[(2 + i)*(2 - i)]
      = (8 - 4i + 4i - 2i²)/(2² - i²)
      = (8 + 2)/(4+1)

  • @angelmendez-rivera351

    The problem with utilizing logarithms with real bases that are negative is that, in relying on the complex logarithm, they remain ill-defined. The complex logarithm is not a function, so in a regard, it is not well-defined, and the problem with using the concept of branch cuts is that properties that the logarithm was intended to have definitionally, such as Log(z·w) = Log(z) + Log(w) and Log(z^w) = w·Log(z), are no longer true in general. You can talk about these properties being preserved in the context of set equations, where the complex logarithm is treated as a multiset of complex numbers, rather than as a function of complex numbers whose output is a complex number. However, mathematicians have studied this approach, and this formalism is completely useless computationally and meaningless in the context of abstract algebra and theory of equations. The approach is powerful in sheaf theory and the theory of Riemann surfaces, but these are mathematical disciplines most people will never even encounter, and they do not contain concepts that would ever motivate going to unnecessary lengths to define something like the logarithm with negative base, because the latter concept is purely a computational tool, not a theoretical one. It is for this reason that you never see mathematicians talking about logarithms of negative base in their writings, or about complex exponentiation whete both the base and exponent are complex and non-real. The fact that the exponential function in the complex numbers is not injective numbers means there is no well-defined, consistent way of computationally dealing with logarithms at that level. What makes this even worse is that the complex logarithm cannot even be generalized to algebraic structures beyond or outside the complex numbers, even though you can generalize the exponential function to such structures. Since there are already many suitable replacements for this concept of the complex logarithm that does not try to force notation into doing things it cannot do, even if we want it to, I always have found it rather unhealthy to try to force expressions such as log(-5, 6) to make sense. I am the kind of person that will only use notation such as x^n if n is an integer, and instead of using a^x for a > 0 as an abbreviation for exp[ln(a)·x], I will rather explicitly write out the latter. This may seem overly nitpicky and pedantic, but I think this is a healthier way of doing mathematics. Having inconsistent notation is no way of doing mathematics, and the false sense of alleged convenience that is not actually there, in return, is definitely not worth it.
    So in summary, if you really want to make life difficult on yourself as a mathematician, you technically can use complex numbers and define logrithms with negative or complex bases with negative or complex arguments, but the only thing you are actually accomplishing is making the logarithmic concept no longer behave as it was intended to, making the notation clunky, not very consistently, and unecessarily convoluted, and not creating a tool that is theoretically appropriate or computationally useful. So honestly, why bother? There are already alternative ways of dealing with all of this, without needing to even the logarithm concept. At least, that is my take on it. I am not discouraging the act of trying to discover new ideas and exploring concepts heuristically. But sometimes, the ideas being discovered are bad ones, and eventually abandoned by mathematicians for good reason. This is one of them.
