Why can the base of a logarithm be neither less than or equal to zero nor equal to one?
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.

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.
Can base of log less than one?
No, the base of a logarithm must be greater than zero and cannot be equal to one. A logarithm with a base less than one would not be defined for positive numbers since it would lead to undefined or negative results. Therefore, valid logarithmic bases are strictly greater than one or between zero and one, but only for specific contexts like fractional logarithms.
What is log of 0.2?
The logarithm of 0.2, written as log(0.2), is a negative value since 0.2 is less than 1. In base 10, log(0.2) is approximately -0.699. This indicates that 10 raised to the power of -0.699 is equal to 0.2.
