Logarithms Basics
Understand logs simply
Logarithms tell you what exponent yields a number for a given base, turning multiplication into addition and simplifying growth, pH, and decibel calculations.
- exponent
- base
- ln
- scale
- growth
Definition
Log base b of x equals the exponent that makes b become x.
Properties
Product becomes sum; quotient becomes difference; powers move out front.
Uses
Apply logs to growth rates, pH, decibels, and algorithm complexity.
