Saying that "X is the common logarithm of N" means that 10 raised to the power of X is N, or 10X = N. For instance, the common logarithm of 100 is 2, of 1000 is 3, and of 25 is about 1.398.

What is the notation for a logarithm with base 10?

The logarithm of a number with base=B is written as [ logB(N) ].If the base is 10, it's called the "common logarithm" of N and the base isn't written. [ log(N) ].If the base is 'e', it's called the "natural logarithm" of N, and written [ ln(N) ].


What is a common logarithm?

Logarithms can be taken to any base. Common logarithms are logarithms taken to base 10; it is sometimes abbreviated to lg. Natural logarithms are logarithms taken to base e (= 2.71828....); it is usually abbreviated to ln.


What is log base 2?

If a^x = n, where a is a positive real number other than 1 and x is a rational number then logarithm is defined as, logarithm of n to the base a is x. Then is written as log n base a = x.


What is the application of logarithm and anti logarithm?

The main use for a logarithm is to find an exponent. If N = a^x Then if we are told to find that exponent of the base (b) that will equal that value of N then the notation is: log N ....b And the result is x = log N ..........b Such that b^x = N N is often just called the "Number", but it is the actuall value of the indicated power. b is the base (of the indicated power), and x is the exponent (of the indicated power). We see that the main use of a logarithm function is to find an exponent. The main use for the antilog function is to find the value of N given the base (b) and the exponent (x)


What is the time complexity of the algorithm in terms of nlogn?

The time complexity of the algorithm is O(n log n), which means the running time grows in proportion to n multiplied by the logarithm of n.


What is the anti log of 36?

anti-log 36 is base36 Without any qualification "log n" is the "logarithm to any base of n"; though it is often used for common logs, or logs to base 10 (log10 n), which is often abbreviated to lg. On a calculator, the [log] button is used for common logs to base 10, so anti-log 36 = 1036


What is the time complexity of an algorithm that has a running time of n log n?

The time complexity of an algorithm with a running time of n log n is O(n log n), which means the algorithm's performance grows in proportion to n multiplied by the logarithm of n.

What is the integral of x to the power n?

For n not equal to -1, it is 1/(n+1)*xn+1 while for n = -1, it is ln(|x|), the logarithm to base e.


Can the base of a logarithm be 0?

No, it is undefined and indeterminate. Log base y of a variable x = N y to the N power = x if y ( base) = 0 then 0 to the N power = x which is always zero (or one in some cases) and ambiguous. Say you want log base 0 of 50 0 to the N power = 50 cannot be true as 0 to the N is always zero


What is an arithmetic mean of a set?

it is the sum of the numbers, say n of them, divided by n in other words, the average


What mathematician is credited for first using Ln to abbreviate natural logarithm?

Irving Stringham, a mathematician at the University of California. The 'l' denotes logarithm and the 'n' natural or Naperian, referring to John Napier, a Scottish mathematician credited with the development of logarithmic functions.
