Bookmark or Share- Logarithms | Brilliant Math & Science WikiA logarithm is the inverse of the exponential function. Specifically, a logarithm is the power to which a number (the base) must be raised to produce a given number. For example, \ (\log_2 64 = 6,\) because \ ( 2^6 = 64.\) In general, we have the following definition: \ ( z \) is the base-\ (x\) logarithm of \ (y\) if and only if \ ( x^z = y \).
- Logarithm - WikipediaIn mathematics, the logarithm is the inverse function to exponentiation. That means that the logarithm of a number x to the base b is the exponent to which b must be raised to produce x. For example, since 1000 = 103, the logarithm base 10 of 1000 is 3, or log10 (1000) = 3.
- Intro to logarithms (video) | Logarithms | Khan AcademyMeasuring Relative Magnitudes: Logarithms allow us to express large ranges of numbers in a more manageable form. For example, the Richter scale uses logarithms to quantify the energy released by earthquakes, and the pH scale uses logarithms to measure the acidity of a solution.
- Logarithms - Definition, Rules, Properties, and Examples - BYJU'SLogarithms. In Mathematics, logarithms are the other way of writing the exponents. A logarithm of a number with a base is equal to another number. A logarithm is just the opposite function of exponentiation. For example, if 102 = 100 then log10 100 = 2.
- Introduction to Logarithms - Math is FunIntroduction to Logarithms. 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? Answer: 2 × 2 × 2 = 8, so we had to multiply 3 of the 2 s to get 8. So the logarithm is 3. How to Write it. We write it like this: log2(8) = 3.
