ab = c ↔ loga c = b
Q. State true or false: If log10 x = a, then
10x = a.
a) True b) False
Exponential Function - Basics
ax=y
Logarithmic Function - Basics
Logarithmic Function - Basics
Note:
If x is positive
logx 1 = 0 ⇒ x0 = 1
(As we know a0 = 1)
Log of 1 to the base x = 0
Ex: log5 1 = 0
log10 1 = 0 ……..etc
Logarithmic Function - Basics
If x is positive
logx x = 1 ⇒ x1 = x
(As we know a1 = a)
Log of x to the base x = 1
Ex: log5 5 = 1
log10 10 = 1 ……..etc
