Understanding Logarithms Intuitively. Adam A. Smith. 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 = ?
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.
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.
Logarithms were originally developed to simplify complex arithmetic calculations. They were designed to transform multiplicative processes into additive ones.
After watching the Introduction to Logarithms video, make sense of the mathematics by reading through the problem situation and solution. Use the comments and questions in bold to help you create tables, graphs, and equations for the situation.
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?
This topic introduces logarithms and exponential equations. Logarithms are used to solve exponential equations, and so are used along with exponential functions when modelling growth and decay. The logarithmic function is an important mathematical function and you will meet it again if you study calculus.
