Document Summary

So 3 is called the logarithm of 8 with base 2. You may consider logarithms as being inverse of exponential. If : x is called the logarithm of y with base b. The logarithm of a positive number, y, with a positive base, b (b 1), is defined as the exponent or the power to which the base b is raised to produce the number y. The logarithm of 10000 with base 10 is 4. 10 is the exponent to which 10 (the base) must be raised to produce 10000. 4 is called the exponential form b y. 10000 (addition) x log10 log yb b log. 10000 xb b m log b y = y x log n n log log m log x y n b n y b x m b. Common logarithm: it is common to use log. The logarithm with base 10 is called common. Usually in common logarithm, we do not write the base 10.
