Logarithmic Concepts

Definition
A logarithm is the exponent to which a base must be raised to produce a given
number. In other words, if bx = y, then x = logb (y).

Properties
• Product rule: logb (xy) = logb (x) + logb (y)
 
• Quotient rule: logb xy = logb (x) − logb (y)

• Power rule: logb (xn ) = n · logb (x)

Change of Base Formula


logc (x)
logb (x) = logc (b)

Common Logarithm
Base 10 logarithm, often denoted as log(x).

Natural Logarithm
Base e logarithm, denoted as ln(x), where e is Euler’s number, approximately
2.71828.

Logarithmic Functions
Logarithmic functions have a vertical asymptote at x = 0, and their graphs are
reflections of exponential functions across the line y = x.

Solving Equations
Logarithms can be used to solve exponential equations. For example, if bx = y,
then x = logb (y). Similarly, if logb (x) = y, then x = by .
