I mean, I’ve used them in algebra many times but I never really understood what it does. Kinda like in biostatistics how I could do the math, but how it worked was beyond me entirely.
So yeah: like what’s this sorcery and what does it do/why do we use it?
In: Mathematics
Division is the opposite of multiplication. The result of a/b is “the number that you multiply by b to get a”. If a/b = c, then b * c = a
Logarithms are the same things for exponents. Log_b(a) is “the power that you raise b to in order to equal a”. If log_b(a) = c, then b^c = a
