What is logarithmic equation?

What is logarithmic equation?

A logarithmic equation is an equation that involves the logarithm of an expression containing a variable. To solve exponential equations, first see whether you can write both sides of the equation as powers of the same number.

What is a logarithmic calculator?

The “Log” function on a graphing or scientific calculator is a key that allows you to work with logarithms. Logarithms are ways to figure out what exponents you need to multiply into a specific number.

What is exponential and logarithmic?

Logarithmic functions are the inverses of exponential functions. The inverse of the exponential function y = ax is x = ay. The logarithmic function y = logax is defined to be equivalent to the exponential equation x = ay. y = logax only under the following conditions: x = ay, a > 0, and a≠1.

Comparison of exponential function and logarithmic function

Exponential function Logarithmic function Read as
82 = 64 log 8 64 = 2 log base 8 of 64
103 = 1000 log 1000 = 3 log base 10 of 1000
100 = 1 log 1 = 0 log base 10 of 1
252 = 625 log 25 625 = 2 log base 25 of 625

How do you do logarithmic and exponential equations?

Steps to Solve Exponential Equations using Logarithms

  1. Keep the exponential expression by itself on one side of the equation.
  2. Get the logarithms of both sides of the equation. You can use any bases for logs.
  3. Solve for the variable. Keep the answer exact or give decimal approximations.

How do you convert an equation into logarithmic form?

2 3 = 8\\displaystyle {2}^{3}=8 2 ​ 3 ​ ​ = 8 Here,b = 2,x = 3,and y = 8.

  • 5 2 = 2 5\\displaystyle {5}^{2}=25 5 ​ 2 ​ ​ = 25 Here,b = 5,x = 2,and y = 25.
  • 1 0 − 4 = 1 1 0,0 0 0\\displaystyle {10}^{-4}=\\frac {1} {10,000} 10 ​ −4 ​ ​ = ​ 10,000 ​ ​ 1 ​ ​
