a log is the 'undo-er' of powers, kind of like division is the 'undo-er' of multiplication. EX: 102 = 100, then log10(100) = 2 103 = 1000, then log10(1000) = 3, in this example, we are using log base 10, this is a default base and sometimes isn't even wirten. e is probably the most common base but log base e is more simply called the natural log, or ln. so in general: logx(m) = N means that xN = m so log5(125) = 3 because 53 = 125.

How do you log into st math with a log in?
What is it
How do you solve for a power in a math problem?
You have to use logarithms (logs).Here are a few handy tools:If [ C = D ], then [ log(C) = log(D) ]log(AB) = log(A) + log(B)log(A/B) = log(A) - log(B)log(Np) = p times log(N)
The log of a quotient is the log of the numerator divided by the log of the denominator?
Not quite. The log(x/y) = log(x) - log(y) In words, this reads "The log of a quotient is the difference of the log of the numerator and the log of the denominator."
If log a equals x and log b equals y what is log?
"Log" is not a normal variable, it stands for the logarithm function.log (a.b)=log a+log blog(a/b)=log a-log blog (a)^n= n log a
Log x - log 6 equals log 15?
log(x) - log(6) = log(15)Add log(6) to each side:log(x) = log(15) + log(6) = log(15 times 6)x = 15 times 6x = 90
