Logarithm and Exponential Std XI
Logarithm:
Let a∈R+ , a≠1, x∈R, y∈R+ if = then = log
For eg.
(1) 2 = 8 ∴ log 8 = 3 (2) 2 = ∴ log = −4
(3) 2 = ∴ log = −3
Self Exercise:
Convert the following exponentials to logarithm
(i) 2 = 32 (ii) 4 = 64 (iii) 5 = 125
Properties of logarithm:
1. log = log + log
2. log = log − log
3. log = log
4. log = log
5. log =
6. log = log
7. log = (change of base)
8. log =
9. log =1
10. = , ∈
