Suppose we are asked to find the value of x , which makes 2^x=8 . We can answer that x=3 like 2^3=8 . However, if we a question 2^x=10 and find the value of x , then it is not easy to find the value of x . Thus, a logarithm is a tool which can solve such type of problem.

Definition of Logarithm

If a^x=y , then the x is called the logarithm of y to the base a and written as log_a⁡y=x , where a is a positive real number and a \neq 1 .
We called log_a⁡y=x like the log of y to the base a equal to x .

  • log_a⁡y=x \ and \ a^x=y are two different ways of expressing the same relation.
  1. log_a⁡y=x is the logarithm form.
    The exponential form of log_a⁡y=x is a^x=y .
  2. a^x=y is the exponential form.
    The logarithm form of a^x=y is log_a⁡y=x .
