This topic introduces logarithms and exponential equations. Logarithms are used to solve exponential equations, and so are used along with exponential functions when modelling
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. So the expressions like log1 3, log 2 5 numbers (similarly to expressions like. p or log4( 6).
Definition of a Logarithm. In the last chapter we solved and graphed “exponential equations.” The strategy we used to solve those was to make the bases the same, set the exponents equal, and solve the resulting equation. You might wonder what would happen if you could not set the bases equal?

Precalculus Tutorials. 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 ( ) = , where 0 < -b is called the base and x is called the exponent. < 1, or > 1.
Intro to Logarithms. Logarithms Algebra II. Julian Zhang. July 2021. 1 Introduction. In mathematics, exponentiation is a shorthand for repeated multiplication. For example, when we write 24, this means. 24 = 2 2 2 2. = 16. However, what if we wanted to perform this operation in reverse?
Introduction to Logarithms used whole number bases for the logarithms, including base 10, which is called the common logarithm. Another logarithm, the natural logarithm, uses the number e as the base. The number e is a constant, and, like another famous constant π, e is an irrational number.
