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.
Yes, a logarithm can equal zero. Specifically, the logarithm of 1 is always zero, regardless of the base, because any number raised to the power of zero equals one (e.g., ( \log_b(1) = 0 ) for any base ( b > 0 )). Thus, ( \log_b(x) = 0 ) when ( x = 1 ).
Of course it is. 'a' can be any positive or negative number, and 'b' is its square.That's no problem.What is difficult is for 'b' to be a negative number in the same equation.No real number for 'a' can produce a negative 'b'.
The number is called e, and it is approximately equal to 2.718.
The negative logarithm of the molar concentration of hydronium (H3O+) ions. pH=-log[H3O+]
negative.
The logarithm of a number less than 1 is negative. Therefore, -log 0.5 is the negative logarithm of 0.5 which is equal to -0.301.
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.

no it doesnt. two negative numbers equal a negative number. two postivie numbers equal a positive number. one negative and one positive number equal a negative number.
A negative number TIMES a positive number will equal a negative number. A negative number DIVIDED BY a positive number (or vice versa) will equal a negative number. With addition and subtraction, it all depends on what the numbers are.

negative.
ln x is the natural logarithm of x, that is the logarithm to base e where e is euler's number (an irrational number that starts 2.71828...). If y = ln x then x = ey
negative number subtracted FROM a negative number will be negative
