A logarithm is written like this: logab It is asking: 'How many a's must be multiplied together to get b?' or 'To what power must a be raised to get b?' Those questions are normally impossible to answer if a is zero or one, because these numbers remain the same no matter what the power. If a is negative, then the need to introduce imaginary and complex numbers will arise.
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.
neither - it is equal
Logarithms of numbers less than one are negative. For example, the logarithm of 1/2 will be negative.
No -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Neither, it's less than.
8.3 is equal to 8.3 so the answer is neither.
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.
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.
neither - it is equal
Neither. They are equal.
It is neither.
Logarithms of numbers less than one are negative. For example, the logarithm of 1/2 will be negative.
Neither. 0.51 and 0.510 are equal.
Neither. They are equal.
-3
neither. it is 8 less than 4
No -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Neither, it's less than.
By a strange coincidence, 250 million is equal to 250 million: neither more nor less!
