Introduction to Logarithms. In its simplest form, a logarithm answers the question: How many of one number multiply together to make another number? Example: How many 2 s multiply together to make 8? Answer: 2 × 2 × 2 = 8, so we had to multiply 3 of the 2 s to get 8. So the logarithm is 3. How to Write it. We write it like this: log2(8) = 3.
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

Logarithms were originally developed to simplify complex arithmetic calculations. They were designed to transform multiplicative processes into additive ones.
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.
This topic introduces logarithms and exponential equations. Logarithms are used to solve exponential equations, and so are used along with exponential functions when modelling
