A logarithm is the power to which a number must be raised in order to get some other number (see Section 3 of this Math Review for more about exponents). For example, the base ten logarithm of 100 is 2, because ten raised to the power of two is 100: log 100 = 2. because. 102 = 100.
What is a logarithm for kids?
logarithm. • a logarithm is used to find the exponent of a number (N) whose base has been raised to equal N. • the power to which the base has been raised.

What are logarithms used for in real life?
Much of the power of logarithms is their usefulness in solving exponential equations. Some examples of this include sound (decibel measures), earthquakes (Richter scale), the brightness of stars, and chemistry (pH balance, a measure of acidity and alkalinity).
What is the purpose of the logarithms?
A logarithm is a mathematical operation that determines how many times a certain number, called the base, is multiplied by itself to reach another number.
What are the 3 laws of logarithms?
- Rule 1: Product Rule.
- Rule 2: Quotient Rule.
- Rule 3: Power Rule.
- Rule 4: Zero Rule.
- Rule 5: Identity Rule.
- Rule 6: Log of Exponent Rule (Logarithm of a Base to a Power Rule)
- Rule 7: Exponent of Log Rule (A Base to a Logarithmic Power Rule)
What are the rules of logarithm?
Rule or special case Formula
-------------------- -------------------
Quotient ln(x/y)=ln(x)−ln(y)
Log of power ln(xy)=yln(x)
Log of e ln(e)=1
Log of one ln(1)=0
What are the four rules of logarithms?
In these lessons, we will look at the four properties of logarithms and their proofs. They are the product rule, quotient rule, power rule and change of base rule. You may also want to look at the lesson on how to use the logarithm properties. The following table gives a summary of the logarithm properties.
