Definition 1: The logarithm with base 10 is called the _____ logarithm. o The base does not need to be shown when writing a common logarithm. o “log x” is understood to mean “log 10 x”. (You do not have to write the 10). o The LOG key on your calculator gives base 10 logarithms. Ex 1: Evaluate log 8 ylog 10

Section 1. 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.
Logarithms. Study Development Worksheet. Example. Simplify the following: ln(12) − ln(10) Answer. Using the log laws, we know that ln(12) − ln(10) = 12 ( ) = 10 6 ( ) = 5 (1.2) . Questions. Evaluate: 4(16) 2(32) (1. 3 ) (1) (10) 1(5) vii) 2(5) viii) 9 ( 1 ) 27. Calculate in each of the following: 4 = 64. ii) 3 1 = 3.
So, why do logarithmic functions exist? It is because exponential functions are one-to-one. Whether you want to use logarithms or not they exist because a bijective function has an inverse.
In its simplest form, a logarithm answers the question: How many of one number multiply together to make another number? Example: How many 2 s multiply together to make 8 ?
In this article, we give you an overview of Year 10 Logarithms. Logarithms are used to calculate how loud something is, how acidic it might be, or how violent an earthquake is. Logarithms have important real world applications and will be an important element of Year 11 and 12 Maths.
