We have the following de nition of logarithms: 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. 6).

Logarithms were originally developed to simplify complex arithmetic calculations. They were designed to transform multiplicative processes into additive ones.

While we have introduced logarithms with a changeable base, there are two main bases that are found on most scienti c calculators, and are used more than others. Firstly, the common logarithm, most commonly written as just log(x).
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.
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 (𝑥)=𝑏𝑥, where 0<𝑏<1, or 𝑏>1. -b is called the base and x is called the exponent.
