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.
Logs are defined only for positive numbers so the log of a negative number does not exist.
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.
Log(y) can be any number, positive or negative, no limits. It all depends on the value of 'y'.
The logarithm function is the inverse of the exponential function. Take the exponential function (base 10): y = 10x. The inverse of this is x = 10y. The function y = log(x) is used to define this inverse function. First look at y = 10x. Any real value of x will yield a positive real value for y. If x = 0, then y = 1; if x < 0 (negative) then y is between 0 and 1 (it will never equal zero, though). A value of 10-99999 is very close to zero, but not quite there. There are no real values of x which will give a negative y value for y = 10x. Now look at y = log(x) or x = 10y. No matter what real values for y, that we choose, x will always be a positive number, so a negative value of x in y = log(x) is not possible if you are limiting to real numbers. It is possible with complex and imaginary numbers to take a log of a negative number, or to get a negative answer to y = 10x.

The negative log of a number is the log of the number's reciprocal ('1' divided by the number).
You can't take the log of negative numbers - at least, not while you stay in the realm of real numbers.You can't take the log of negative numbers - at least, not while you stay in the realm of real numbers.You can't take the log of negative numbers - at least, not while you stay in the realm of real numbers.You can't take the log of negative numbers - at least, not while you stay in the realm of real numbers.

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.
To find the antilog of a negative number using a log table, first, add the absolute value of the negative number to the characteristic of the log table. Next, locate the resulting number in the log table to find the corresponding mantissa. Finally, take the antilog of the mantissa to get the final answer. Remember to consider the negative sign of the original number when determining the final result.

To calculate the number of decibels that power-level-'A' is greater than power-level-'B',-- Divide 'A' by 'B'-- Take the 'log' of the quotient-- Multiply the 'log' by 10 .If the result is negative, then 'A' is that many decibels lower than 'B'.
Because the log of zero is "negative infinity", and the calculator display is too narrow to display that number.
you cant log out from it you have to delete it or have it left
The log phase of a bacterial growth curve represents exponential growth in cell number. It is followed by the stationary phase, where cell growth stabilizes. The death phase shows a decrease in cell number, but it may not necessarily follow a negative logarithmic trend.
