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.
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. The number b (which we take the logarithm of) has to be greater than 0.

Logarithms were originally developed to simplify complex arithmetic calculations. They were designed to transform multiplicative processes into additive ones.
1) Use properties of logarithms to evaluate, condense, and solve equations using natural logs. The history of mathematics is marked by the discovery of special numbers such as counting numbers, zero, negative numbers, , and imaginary numbers.
26 Μαρ 2016 · Logarithms are simply another way to write exponents. Exponential and logarithmic functions are inverses of each other. For solving and graphing logarithmic functions (logs), remember this inverse relationship and you'll be solving logs in no time!
