What is Meant by Logarithm?

In Mathematics, the logarithm is considered as a convenient method to express the large numbers. The logarithm is defined as a power to which some number is raised in order to get some other numbers. The logarithmic function is generally defined as follows:
For x > 0 , a > 0, and a≠1,
y= log_a x if and only if x = a^y
Then the logarithmic function is given by
f(x) = log_a x
There are two different types of logarithmic functions. They are:
1. Common Logarithmic Function (whose base is 10)
2. Natural Logarithmic Function (Whose base is e)

Examples Based On Log Calculator

Example 1:
Solve for x: 4 + log₃(7x) = 10
Solution:
4 + log₃(7x) = 10
Subtracting 4 from both sides, we get;
4 + log₃(7x) – 4 = 10 – 4
log₃(7x) = 6
7x = 36
7x = 729
x = 729/7
Example 2:
Solve:

Solution:
Given,

By applying the quotient rule,

Now, taking the log out,

Squaring on both sides,
(x + 4)/(x – 4) = 3²
x + 4 = 9(x – 4)
x + 4 = 9x-36
8x = 40
x = 5
