Aug 14, 2020 · As the title states, I need to be able to calculate logs (base $10$) on paper without a calculator. For example, how would I calculate $\\log(25)$?

Jan 10, 2021 · My teacher told me that the natural logarithm of a negative number does not exist, but $$\ln (-1)=\ln (e^ {i\pi})=i\pi$$ So, is it logical to have the natural logarithm of a negative number?

Jan 9, 2017 · For example, the following "proof" can be obtained if you're sloppy: \begin {align} e^ {\pi i} = -1 & \implies (e^ {\pi i})^2 = (-1)^2 & \text { (square both sides)}\\ & \implies e^ {2\pi i} = 1 & \text { …

Jun 2, 2022 · Does anyone know how to type logarithmic functions into Desmos graphing calculator (https://www.desmos.com/calculator) ? I need to type a function, in which y equals ...

Aug 19, 2013 · I have a very simple question. I am confused about the interpretation of log differences. Here a simple example: $$\\log(2)-\\log(1)=.3010$$ With my present understanding, I would interpret …

Logarithms are defined as the solutions to exponential equations and so are practically useful in any situation where one needs to solve such equations (such as finding how long it will take for a …

Nov 21, 2019 · This just depends on how the author decides to define the $\log$ function. Most authors leave $\log (0)$ undefined. You could define $\log (0)$ to be $-\infty$, but it's unclear that this is helpful.

Apr 30, 2016 · I was wondering how one would multiply two logarithms together? Say, for example, that I had: $$\\log x·\\log 2x < 0$$ How would one solve this? And if it weren't possible, what would its …

Dividing logs which have the same base changes the base of the log. That is log a log b =logb a log a log b = log b a It doesn't matter what base we were using on the left hand side. It will change the …

Jun 28, 2017 · I have always heard an expression like $\\ln (x^2)$ pronounced aloud as "ell-enn ex squared". That is, the name of the function $\\ln$ is read aloud as a two-letter abbreviation. However, …
