Logarithms are the mathematical function that is used to represent the number (y) to which a base integer (a) is raised in order to get the number x: x = ay; where y = loga(x). Most of you are familiar with the standard base-10 logarithm: y = log10(x); where x = 10y.
Given that log 2 = x, log 3 = y and log 7 = z, express the following expressions in terms of x, y, and z. (1) log 12 (2) log 200. 14. (3) log (4) log 0:3. 3. (5) log 1:5 (6) log 10:5 6000. (7) log 15 (8) log. 7.
Logarithms. The mathematics of logarithms and exponentials occurs naturally in many branches of science. It is very important in solving problems related to growth and decay. The growth and decay may be that of a plant or a population, a crystalline structure or money in the bank.
This document contains a math worksheet with 31 problems involving logarithms, equations, inequalities, exponential functions, and word problems related to biology, chemistry, sound, and horticulture.
Most simply, logarithms are mathematical functions that extract the exponent from the exponential representation of a number. Antilogarithms (exponential functions) are literally functions that “undo” the taking of a logarithm.
explain what is meant by a logarithm. state and use the laws of logarithms. solve simple equations requiring the use of logarithms. Contents. Introduction. Why do we study logarithms ? What is a logarithm ? if x = an then loga x = n. 4. Exercises. 5. The first law of logarithms. loga xy = loga x + loga y. 6. The second law of logarithms.
Having previously defined what a logarithm is (see the notes on Functions and Graphs) we now look in more detail at the properties of these functions. The relationship between logarithms and exponentials is expressed as:
