Remarks: # logs always refers to log base 10, ie., log. = logye 2. « Ing is called the natural logarithm and is used to rey number ¢ * 2.71828. Therefore, In = y if and onl sent log, 2, where the irrational if e% = zz. ‘© Most calculators can directly compute logs base 10 and the natural log. For any other base it is necessary to use the change of base formula: logya = 1% or 1980. ind ™ Togied Properties of Logarithms (Recall that logs are only defined for positive values of z.)
