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
