The logarithm of a positive real number x to the base-a is the number y that satisfies the equation a y = x. In, symbols. The logarithm of X to the base-a is Loga X and if a Y,,, = x then y = Loga X.
, Essentially the logarithm to base-a is a. Function: To each positive real number x the logarithm, to base-a assigns x a number y such that a y = x. For, example 102. 100; therefore log10, 100 = 2.The logarithm of 100 to base-10 is 2 which is, an elaborate name for the power of 10 that equals 100.
Any positive real. Number except 1 can be used as the base. However the two, most useful integer bases are 10 and 2. Base-2 also known, as. The binary system is used, in computer science because nearly all computers and calculators use base-2 for their internal. Calculations.Logarithms to the base-10 are called common logarithms. If the base is not specified then base-10, is assumed in which,, Case the notation is simplified to log X.
Some examples of logarithms follow.
