Exponents can simplify very ugly math problems and their relation to logarithms makes them invaluable. FYI logarithms were invented before exponents.
John Napier discussed logarithms in 1614 in his book titled Mirifici Logarithmorum Canonis Descriptio. He probably discovered it some time before 1614.The use of logarithms did not reduce errors when performing calculations. The use of logarithms made calculations faster possibly at the loss of some precision.
The base of common logarithms is ten.

Logarithms were invented by John Napier who was a mathematician. He invented other things too, so there was no reason why he couldn't invent the logarithms. Logarithms were invented so people could take short cuts to multiplications! :)
In 1614, John Napier published his invention of logarithms.
No, they are opposites, just like multiplication and division are opposites.

Electrical engineers use logarithms to work on signal Decay.
Michael Stifel published his discovery of logarithms in 1544. John Napier publicly propounded the method of logarithms in 1614. For more details see related link.
That would depend a lot on the specific equations. Often the following tricks can help: (a) Take antilogarithms to get rid of the logarithms. (b) Use the properties of logarithms, especially: log(ab) = log a + log b; log(a/b) = log a - log b; log ab = b log a. (These properties work for logarithms in any base.)
