traditional study of logarithms, we have deprived our students of the evolution of ideas and concepts that leads to deeper understanding of many concepts associated with logarithms. As a result, teachers now could hear “(5.2)y = 30.47, y = 6.32 because the calculator says so,” (52 = 25 for goodness sakes!!)
We have the following de nition of logarithms: De nition. 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.
Logarithms If a>1or0<a<1, then the exponential function f : R ! (0,1) defined as f(x)=ax is one-to-one and onto. That means it has an inverse function. If either a>1or0<a<1, then the inverse of the function ax is loga:(0,1) ! R and it’s called a logarithm of base a. That ax and log a (x)areinversefunctionsmeansthat aloga(x) = x and loga (a x ...
The laws of logarithms. The three main laws are stated here: . First Law. log A + log B = log AB. . This law tells us how to add two logarithms together. Adding log A and log B results in the logarithm of the product of A and B, that is log AB. For example, we can write. log10 5 + log10 4 = log10(5 × 4) = log10 20.
Exponential Equations & Logarithms. 1.1 Exponential Equations. 16 or 10x = 3.267. The first equation has answer x = 4, but the second equation is mu. h 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 find t.
Logarithm formulas. = loga x () ay = x (a; x > 0; a 6= 1) loga 1 = 0. loga a = 1. loga(mn) = loga m + loga n. m. loga = loga m. n.
