How to solve for x in log
By now, you should be familiar with the idea of "subtracting log C" to solve for x. When you subtract log C from log A, you'll end up with a value that's closer to x than either of those two numbers. In general, solving for x in log is a matter of subtracting the log of C from the log of A.
How can we solve for x in log
But there are some special cases where it can be more complicated. If you're dealing with a number like x or y that's between 0 and 1, it's usually easiest to use the properties of logarithms to solve for x: Assume that |x| 1: Subtract log C from both sides: ⌊log C⌋ - ⌊log A⌋ Solve for x on both sides: x = −C / log A The absolute value on the left makes this an easier task than it would be if you didn't take into account whether or not |x| 1. Assume that |x| > 1: Subtract log C from both sides: ⌊log C⌋ - ⌊log A⌋ Solve for x on both sides: x = −C / log A + 1 The absolute value on the right makes this an easier task than it would be if
What is log x? In mathematics, log (also written logarithm) is a way of expressing the natural (base 10) logarithm of a number. It is used to show how much one number is raised to another. The logarithm of a number with base 10 is equal to the power to which that number must be raised to equal its logarithm with base e (the natural logarithm). For example: The base 10 logarithm of 12 is 2, whereas the base e logarithm of 12 is 2. This means that 12 must be multiplied by 2^e to equal its base 10 logarithm, or 2. Similarly, the base 10 logarithm of 100 is 3 and its base e logarithm of 100 is 3. This means that 100 must be multiplied by e^3 to equal its base 10 logarithm, or 6.
Now that you know what the log function is, let's see how to solve for x in log. To find the value of x, we first need to simplify the expression using logarithms. Then, we can use the definition of the log function to evaluate x. Let's look at an example: Solve for x in log 3 by first simplifying the expression (see example below) and then applying the definition of log: . You can see that , so x = 2. When solving for a variable in a log function, a common mistake is to convert from base 10 to base e or vice versa. You need to be careful when converting between bases because it will change the logarithm and may make solving more difficult. For example, if you try to solve for 5 in log 3 you get , but if you convert it from base 10 to base e, you would get . This is because the base e exponent has a larger range than the base 10 exponent. In other words, the value of 5 in base e is much greater than 5 in base 10. The correct formula is , where is any real number greater than 1 and less than 10. So when doing any type of math involving logs, conversions between different bases should always be done with caution!
the app is a life saver. I'm able to understand when working my way up to get the right answer step by step. It's amazing, have been using it since middle school for my algebra homework’s. I like the update and new design at the start that was made. Although it would be great to see the most previous solution (coming from the bottom) seen by swiping up.

This app is amazing. I actually love this app because it explains how to do the problem but you also have to buy premium to get the full explanation but still shows you how to do it and help and makes math easier. I recommend it for anyone struggling with math
