The GNU C library, for example, uses a call to the fyl2x() assembler instruction, which means that logarithms are calculated directly from the hardware. So the question is: what algorithm is used by …

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 …

May 14, 2021 · 3 Currently, in my math class, we are learning about logarithms. I understand that the common logarithm has a base of 10 and the natural has a base of e. But, when do we use them? For …

You could build a table of certain logarithms: 10^ (-1/2), 10^ (-1/4), etc. Twenty such entries would allow you to calculate logs to 5 places by multiplying your target number by the appropriate power of ten …

For the layman it might help to know that logarithms were used as a tool for multiplication back when ships sailed by celestial navigation. The sum of the logarithms of two numbers is the logarithm of …

Apr 30, 2016 · I was wondering how one would multiply two logarithms together? Say, for example, that I had: $$\\log x·\\log 2x < 0$$ How would one solve this? And if it weren't possible, what would its …

May 27, 2024 · I think it's easy to see it when we look at the inverse of the function " f(x) =ax f (x) = a x " but I wonder if there's other way to look at it besides just analyzing the function. I was taught my …

Jan 10, 2021 · My teacher told me that the natural logarithm of a negative number does not exist, but $$\ln (-1)=\ln (e^ {i\pi})=i\pi$$ So, is it logical to have the natural logarithm of a negative number?

Logarithms of different bases are related: they are simple multiples of each other. Common logarithms are log10 log 10 (the base is usually skipped), and the natural logarithm (loge x = ln x log e x = ln x) …
