a > 0, a 6= 1 and b > 0 we have: loga b = c , ac = b. What does it mean? First of all the assumptions (restrictions) are important. The number a, called the base of the logarithm, has to be greater than 0 and cannot be equal to 1. The number b (which we take the logarithm of) has to be greater than 0.
After reading this text and / or viewing the video tutorial on this topic you should be able to: explain what is meant by a logarithm. state and use the laws of logarithms. solve simple equations requiring the use of logarithms.
Introduction to Logarithms -A logarithm is the inverse function for an exponent; therefore, we will review exponential functions first. Review of Exponential Functions -An exponential function has the general form (𝑥)=𝑏𝑥, where 0<𝑏<1, or 𝑏>1. -b is called the base and x is called the exponent.
logarithms allow for the simplification of complex problem situations to basic arithmetic operations. In this unit you will examine the definition and inverse relationship with the exponential function, practice the laws of logarithms, solve logarithmic equations, and explore a
This topic introduces logarithms and exponential equations. Logarithms are used to solve exponential equations, and so are used along with exponential functions when modelling
Logarithms were originally developed to simplify complex arithmetic calculations. They were designed to transform multiplicative processes into additive ones.
While we have introduced logarithms with a changeable base, there are two main bases that are found on most scienti c calculators, and are used more than others. Firstly, the common logarithm, most commonly written as just log(x).
