Change Numbers Log For Free

To rid an equation of logarithms, raise both sides to the same exponent as the base of the logarithms.

The inverse of a logarithmic function is an exponential function. When you graph both the logarithmic function and its inverse, and you also graph the line y = x, you will note that the graphs of the logarithmic function and the exponential function are mirror images of one another with respect to the line y = x.

The logarithm, or log, is the inverse of the mathematical operation of exponentiation. This means that the log of a number is the number that a fixed base has to be raised to in order to yield the number. Conventionally, log implies that base 10 is being used, though the base can technically be anything.

We know that the inverse of a log function is an exponential. So, we know that the inverse of f(x) = log subb(x) is f^-1(y) = b^y. If the base is e and we are dealing with the natural log, then the inverse of f(x) = ln(x) is f^-1(y) = e^y.

The inverse of a logarithmic function is an exponential function. When you graph both the logarithmic function and its inverse, and you also graph the line y = x, you will note that the graphs of the logarithmic function and the exponential function are mirror images of one another with respect to the line y = x.

The opposite of a log is antilog. In common logs, if it's a natural log, then it will be e^x, and if it's common logs, then it will be 10^x.

Correct answer: In order to eliminate the log based ten, we will need to raise both sides as the exponents using the base of ten. The ten and log based ten will cancel, leaving just the power on the left side. Change the negative exponent into a fraction on the right side.
