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 more efficient method for solving equations using the “Change of Base” formula for logarithms.
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 = ?
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

After watching the video, Introduction to Logarithms, complete the following problems. 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.
Learning that 5 + 2 = 7 needs to start with combining 5 coins (popsicle sticks, poker chips, etc.) with 2 coins resulting in 7 coins. From that experience, the student can proceed to learn that the photographic/pictorial images of 5 coins (popsicle sticks, poker chips, etc.) combined with the photographic/pictorial images of 2 coins results in 7
