Logarithm
A mathematical operation that undoes exponentiation, revealing the exponent needed to reach a value from a given base.
Exponential Function
A function where a constant base is raised to a variable exponent, forming the inverse relationship with logarithms.
Inverse Property
A rule stating that applying a logarithm and an exponential with the same base cancels both, leaving only the exponent or argument.
Product Rule
A property allowing the logarithm of a product to be written as the sum of the logarithms of the factors.
Quotient Rule
A property allowing the logarithm of a quotient to be written as the difference of the logarithms of the numerator and denominator.
Power Rule
A property allowing an exponent inside a logarithm to be moved in front as a multiplier of the logarithm.
Change of Base Formula
A method for rewriting a logarithm in terms of logs with a different base, using a fraction of two logarithms.
Common Logarithm
A logarithm with base 10, often written simply as 'log' and found as a calculator button.
Natural Logarithm
A logarithm with base e, written as 'ln', commonly used in calculus and available on calculators.
Expansion
The process of rewriting a single logarithmic expression as a sum, difference, or multiple of simpler logs.
Condensation
The process of combining multiple logarithmic terms into a single logarithm using log properties in reverse.
Base
The fixed number in a logarithm or exponential that is raised to a power or used as the reference for the log.
Argument
The value inside a logarithm, representing the number for which the exponent is being solved.
Exponent
The power to which a base is raised in an exponential or the result found by evaluating a logarithm.
Fractional Exponent
An exponent expressed as a fraction, often representing roots, such as 1/3 for a cube root.
