This topic introduces logarithms and exponential equations. Logarithms are used to solve exponential equations, and so are used along with exponential functions when modelling
We have the following de nition of logarithms: 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. 6).

A Logarithm is the inverse function for an Exponent -We remember that inverse functions do the exact opposite of one another. -An example can be seen in the table above; the exponential function sends −2 to 1
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).
Logarithms make a lot of people anxious. A lot of this has to do with the way they're often taught in high school and secondary school: by memorizing all the proper steps, without imparting much deeper meaning. For example, maybe you were once taught to solve problems like this: log7 49 = ?
