Problem $\\dfrac{\\log125}{\\log25} = 1.5$ From my understanding, if two logs have the same base in a division, then the constants can simply be divided i.e $125/25 = 5$ to result in ${\\log5} = 1.5$...

I have read through questions like Calculate logarithms by hand and and a section of the Feynman Lecture series which talks about calculation of logarithms. I have recognized neither of them useful...

I have a very simple question. I am confused about the interpretation of log differences. Here a simple example: $$\\log(2)-\\log(1)=.3010$$ With my present understanding, I would interpret the resul...

I was just checking the log table and then suddenly It came to my mind that how were log tables made before calculators/computers how did john Napier calculate so precisely the values of $\\log(2),\\...

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 …

Nov 16, 2012 · The units remain the same, you are just scaling the axes. As an analogy, plotting a quantity on a polar chart doesn't change the quantities, it just 'warps' the display in some useful way. …

May 25, 2017 · The practical real-life application of logarithms in doing arithmetic came before the days of hand-held electronic calculators (if you are young, let me explain that a hand-held calculator was …

I've never encountered the following type of logarithmic simultaneous equations. I'm supposed to solve for x and y, but I just can't seem to figure it out. $$ \\log_9 {(xy)} = \\frac {5}{2}$$ $$ \\lo...

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 …
