Logarithm

October 04, 2019

A logarithm can be defined as the inverse of exponentiation. Stated another way, it is the power to which a number (also known as the base) must be raised to produce a given number.

Example

Logarithms are written like: log216 = 4.

It helps me to think about them algebraically. Written algebraically, log216x is equivalent to 2^x = 16. In this case, x = 4
