Logarithm

Remember
I. (base is 10); (log10 x = log x)
1. Log 1 = 0 ≈ 0
2. Log 2 = 0.3010 ≈ 0.3
3. Log 3 = 0.4771 ≈ 0.48
4. Log 5 = 0.6989 ≈ 0.7
5. Log 7 = 0.8450 ≈ 0.84
6. Log 10 = 1 ≈ 1
7. Log 100 = 2 ≈ 2 if 10 < x < 100 => 1 < log x < 2
8. Log 1000 = 3 ≈ 3 if 100 < x < 1000 => 2 < log x < 3
9. if 10m < x < 10n => m < log x < n
II. Properties
1. Log (m x n) = log (m) + log (n)
2. Log (m / n) = log (m) – log (n)
3. Log (mn) = n (log m)
Example –
1. Log 4 = log (22) = 2 x log 2 = 2 x 0.3 = 0.6
2. Log 6 = log (2 x 3) = log 2 + log 3 = 0.3 + 0.48 = 0.78
3. Log 8 = log (23) = 3 x log 2 = 3 x 0.3 = 0.9
4. Log 9 = log (32) = 2 x log 3 = 2 x 0.48 = 0.96
5. Log 45 = log (3 x 3 x 5) = log 3 + log 3+ log 5 = 0.3 + 0.3 + 0.7 = 1.3
III. To Find log p
Let log a < log p < log b
=> write p as q x 10m such that 0 < q < 10
Now, log p = log (q x 10m)
= log q + log 10m
= [(log b – log a) x (q – a)] + m
For Example
1. Log 13 2. Log 257
= log (1.3 x 101) = log (2.57 x 102)
1
= log 1.3 + log 10 = log 2.57 + 2
= (log 2 – log 1) x (1.3 – 1) + 1 = log (3 – log 2) x 0.57 + 2
= (0.3 – 0) x 0.3 + 1 = (0.48 – 0.3) x 0.57 + 2
= 0.9 + 1 = 0.18 x 0.57 + 2
= 1.9 = 2.1026

Anti logarithm
Remember
1. Antilog (log y) = y
2. Log (antilog y) = y
3. Log (m) + log (n) = Log (m x n)
4. n (log m) = Log (mn)

Example
1. Antilog (0.351) = antilog (log 2) = 2
2. Antilog (10.483) 3. Antilog (–7.71)
= antilog (10 + 0.483) = antilog (–8 + 0.29) = antilog (–8 + 0.3)
= antilog (10 log 10 + log 3) = antilog (–8 log 10 + log 2)
= antilog (log 1010 + log 3) = antilog (log 10–8 + log 2)
= antilog [ log (3 x 1010) ] = antilog (log 2 x 10–8)
= 3 x 1010 = 2 x 10–8
