    This document introduces logarithms, including why they were introduced, how they are defined and represented, their properties and examples of proofs of those properties, and sample questions. Logarithms were introduced by John Napier in 1614 to simplify calculations. There are two main types: natural logarithms with base e and common logarithms with base 10. Logarithms represent the inverse function to exponentiation. Properties include addition/subtraction rules and proofs of those rules are provided, along with examples. Sample questions involve finding values of x for various logarithmic equations.

    LOGARITHMS
    WHY WAS IT INTRODUCED?
    • Logarithms were introduced by John Napier in 1614 as
    a means of simplifying calculations

    • Logarithms are another way of thinking about


    exponents.

    WHAT IS IT?
    • Logarithm is the inverse function to exponentiation
    • The function is defined as:
    f(x) = , a > 0, a ≠ 1
    • 2 main types of logarithms:
    1. Natural logarithmic function – base “e”
    2. Common logarithmic function – base “10”
