Log -3 equals?
There is no answer - it is an error: negative numbers do not have logarithms. The log if a number tells to what power the (positive) base must be raised to get the number. Raising any positive number to any power will never result in a negative number, so it is an error to try and take the log of a negative number.
How is it possible to find the negative log explain?
Logs are defined only for positive numbers so the log of a negative number does not exist.
Is it possible for a logarithm to equal a negative number?
Yes. The logarithm of 1 is zero; the logarithm of any number less than one is negative. For example, in base 10, log(0.1) = -1, log(0.01) = -2, log(0.001) = -3, etc.
What is gernal value of log y?
Log(y) can be any number, positive or negative, no limits. It all depends on the value of 'y'.
Why can't you take the log of a negative number?
the log of a number, X, is equal to some value , N, and by definition 10 to the N power =X 10 to any power is always positive
What is -log equivalent to?
The negative log of a number is the log of the number's reciprocal ('1' divided by the number).

Tamagotchi v5 log out code?
once you are log in you will see your tamagotchi on screen. then it will say your log out number.

Which phases of a typical bacterial growth curve illustrates a log change in cell number. Oviously log or growth phase is logarithmic. Is the death phase a negative log change?
Exponential
Why does calculators display an error when log 0 is typed?
Because the log of zero is "negative infinity", and the calculator display is too narrow to display that number.
Why can't you take the log of a negative number?
the log of a number, X, is equal to some value , N, and by definition 10 to the N power =X 10 to any power is always positive
Why can't you have a negative argument in a logarithm- Negative two to the third power equals negative eight so why can't the log of base negative two of negative 8 equal three?
some times dams have negitives effects I added the answer below to a link of a Yahoo answer; however, it IS possible to calculate the log of a negative number but you have to work in complex numbers.
Why can't the pH of an aqueous solution be less than 0?
The pH of a solution can be less than zero. Remember that pH is defined as the negative logarithm of the hydronium ion concentration, pH = -log[H3O+]. For pH to be negative, the log of the hydronium ion concentration needs to be positive. The log of a number is only positive if that number is greater than one. For example, the value of log(2) is about 0.30. This means that the pH of a strong acid that has a concentration of greater than 1 molar will be negative.
What are the units for measuring pH?
pH is a pure number. It doesn't have units. It is the negative log of the hydrogen ion concentration.
