What is the base of a logarithm?

The base of a logarithm is the number that is raised to a power to obtain a certain value. For example, in $$\text{log}_b(a) = c$$ , $$b$$ is the base.

What is the value of $$\text{log}_2(8)$$ ?

The value of $$\text{log}_2(8)$$ is 3, because $$2^3 = 8$$ .

What is the value of $$\text{log}_{10}(100)$$ ?

The value of $$\text{log}_{10}(100)$$ is 2, because $$10^2 = 100$$ .

How do you solve an exponential equation like $$2^x = 16$$ ?

To solve $$2^x = 16$$ , rewrite 16 as a power of 2: $$2^x = 2^4$$ . Therefore, $$x = 4$$ .

How do you solve a logarithmic equation like $$\text{log}_2(x) = 3$$ ?

To solve $$\text{log}_2(x) = 3$$ , rewrite it in exponential form: $$x = 2^3$$ . Therefore, $$x = 8$$ .

What is the exponential growth formula?

The exponential growth formula is given by $$N(t) = N_0 e^{rt}$$ , where $$N_0$$ is the initial amount, $$r$$ is the growth rate, and $$t$$ is time.

What is the exponential decay formula?

The exponential decay formula is given by $$N(t) = N_0 e^{-rt}$$ , where $$N_0$$ is the initial amount, $$r$$ is the decay rate, and $$t$$ is time.

What is the significance of the number 'e' in exponential functions?

The number 'e' (approximately 2.718) is the base of natural logarithms and is used in continuous growth or decay models. It represents the limit of $$(1 + \frac{1}{n})^n$$ as $$n$$ approaches infinity.
