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.
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.
This topic introduces logarithms and exponential equations. Logarithms are used to solve exponential equations, and so are used along with exponential functions when modelling
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. So the expressions like log1 3, log 2 5 numbers (similarly to expressions like. p or log4( 6).
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?

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:
