Logarithms are defined as the solutions to exponential equations and so are practically useful in any situation where one needs to solve such equations (such as finding how long it will take for a …

86 I would like to know how logarithms are calculated by computers. The GNU C library, for example, uses a call to the fyl2x() assembler instruction, which means that logarithms are calculated directly …

Feb 14, 2016 · 42 I would need to be able to compute logarithms without using a calculator, just on paper. The result should be a fraction so it is the most accurate. For example I have seen this in …

Jun 2, 2022 · Thank you, but I don't understand what is "a" there? Is that the base? How should I go about logarithm of 10 with the base of 5? If I click on that button I get "log ( )". How do I proceed from …

Aug 6, 2018 · What algorithm do scientific calculators use to calculate Logarithms Ask Question Asked 7 years, 5 months ago Modified 7 years, 5 months ago

Another (personal) remark: why would one use logarithms to solve this inequality? Just because it is possible to solve this question, doesn't mean that one should do it (you can see that a correct use of …

John Napier explicitly used the parallel relationship between arithmetic progressions and geometric progressions as his working definition of logarithms and to construct his logarithm tables. There is a …

As the title states, I need to be able to calculate logs (base $10$) on paper without a calculator. For example, how would I calculate $\\log(25)$?

Oct 29, 2021 · No exponent n n in (−2)n (2) n will result in −4 4, as far as I can see. So, it seems to be in summary that for all positive bases, the logarithm can't be found for negative numbers. But for some …

Sep 27, 2021 · So in most applications, we refuse to use negative bases. HOWEVER, just because the concept of "logarithm" isn't a function on the complex plane, does not mean that we can't USE …
