LOGS
Published on: Wed Dec 10 2008
Logs are another way to write exponents.
This shows ‘The common log’. When a base is left out, it is assumed to be base ‘10’
My curiousity was sparked by a Chain Rule problem, which included ln in the answer. I did not know how to handle ln. ln is ‘the natural log’. It involves a relationship with an unknown variable ‘e’, which is its base.
Some practice problems
Example #1 evaluate exponentially
Example #2 evaluate exponentially
Example#3 Evaluate Logarithmically
Example #4 Evaluate Logarithmically
Ran out of time. Using problems from West Texas A&M University
