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 = ?

1 Exponential Equations & Logarithms 1 1.1 Exponential Equations An exponential equation is an equation like 2x = 16 or 10x = 3.267. The first equation has answer x = 4, but the second equation is much harder to solve. An exponential equation has the general form ax = b, where the base a and the number b are known and we wish to find
What are some of the characteristics of the graph of a logarithmic function? other than 1, has an inverse function that you can denote by g(x) = logb x. This inverse function is called a logarithmic function with base b. Work with a partner. Find the value of x in each exponential equation. Explain your reasoning.
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.
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). = c means a raised to the power of c is equal to b.
In this Lesson, you will start by working with the LOG button on your calculator and then building an understanding of logarithms as exponents. You will learn how to read and interpret logarithms and how to compute with base 10 and other bases as well.
