1.1 Introduction :
Logarithms are very useful in mathematics and also in various branches of science and
hence the study of logarithms and logarithmic functions is important.
Logarithm is inverse process of taking powers.
You have studied logarithms in previous standards and have also seen how calculations
are made easy with the help of common logarithms.
1.2 Concept :
In some units of mathematics, we consider two opposite processes. For example,
subtraction is opposite process of addition. Similarly, logarithm is opposite process of
taking powers of numbers. Logarithm is an important method of representing the index of
a number in a different manner.
The following clarify this concept

Exponential form Logarithmic form
Inthe above, ye Rt, xeR and ae R*- {1}.
Here it can be seen that exponential form can be converted into logarithmic form and
vice-versa according to certain rules.
On the left we have exponential form. By taking power x of a positive real number a
(not 1), we get the value y. Here a is called base and x is called index or exponent. We have
studied this in detail in chapter 1.
It should be noted that for any acceptable values of a and x, the result y is always
positive. For example, 23= 4-150
‘The form on the right is logarithmic form. log, y is read as ‘logarithm of y to the base ”
a’. Here y is a number whose logarithm to the base a is to be found. If this logarithm is x,
then. jt, means thet.by taking index x to the base @, we get the value y.

Exponential form
In the first illustration, base is 2 and index is 3, Here in logarithmic form logarithm = 4
Thus, the index in the exponential expression and the logarithm in. the, logarithm
expression are equal (both are 3), The base remains the same in both the expressions,
Similarly, in the second illustration, the base on both sides is 81. The logarithm on 1\\

left is 2 which becomes the index on the right.

1.3 Definition of Logarithmic Function :
For a R*— {1}, a function f: R*> R, f(x) = log x is called logarithmio function
It should be noted that the domain of the logarithmic function is a set of ‘Positive ical
numbers. Hence we cannot obtain logarithm of zero or negative numbers. Allgo the base «
must be a positive real number other than 1. 5
For example, we cannot get log, (~ 8). .
Notes, :
(1) Exponential function is an inverse function of logarithmic function andl vice-versa
(2) We cannot obtain logarithms of zero or negative numbers,
Types of logarithms :
The base of a logarithm can be a positive real number not equal to 1. Hence we ct
obtain infinite number of logarithms of a single number by taking different bases: Thus tic
can be many types of logarithms. But out of these there are main two types’ (1) comm!
logarithm (2) natural logarithm. sondite:
(1) Common logarithm : Logarithms to the base 10 are called common logarithm
Common Jogarithms are used in science subjects for ease in calculations, They :
also used for calculating interest etc, Tables of common logarithm are include’ i
most of the books on mathematics. ‘ o r
(2) Natural logarithm : The system of logarithms whose base is ihetestetan ie
called the natural logarithm system. Natural logarithms were defined by Napic'
This type of logarithms are useful mostly in calculus and calculatigns of high"
level. For example, in differentiating a logarithmic function in calculus, we have”
use base ¢ logarithms, Logarithm 3
1.4 Rules of Logarithms :
Let a,x, y,€ Rt and a#l.
Rule 1: (Logarithm of a Product) : The logarithm of the product of two positive
numbers x and y is equal to the sum of the logarithms of the numbers. i.c.,
log, (xy) = log, x + log, y
Rule 2 ; (Logarithm of a quotient) : The logarithm of the quotient of two positive
numbers x andy is equal to the difference of the logarithms of the numbers
ie,
log, (3) = log, x — 10g,
Rule 3: (Logarithm of a power) : The logarithm of the n'* power of a positive
number x is equal to n multiplied by the logarithm of the number i.c.,
log, (x") = n log, x
Rule 4: (Rule of change of base) : The logarithm of a positive number x taken to
the base y is equal to the ratio of logarithms of x andy taken to the new base
a(a#l) ie,
log, x
log, *= Top, y
