What does log ask?
What exponent gives me this number
2.718
e
Natural logarithm
ln a = x
a = e^x
log n 1 =
0
log n (n) =
1
Restate in log term
2^3 =8
log 2 (8) =3
Restate in log terms
a = b^x
log b a = x
Log change of base formula
log a x = log b x
———-
log b a
Convert logarithmic form to exponential form
Log b (a) = x
a = b^x
What does exponentiation do to a logarithm
Cancels it
b^ logb (x) = x
How do you remove a logarithm
Log b (a) = x
Exponentiate both sides using same base.
b^log b (a) = b^x
What is the inverse operation of a logarithm
Exponentiation
Common logarithm
log a=x
a=10^x
log10 a=x
Logn(a) - logn(b) =
logn(a/b)
Logn (C^m) =
mlogn C
Log (125) =
Log(5^3)
3 log(5)
