What is a logarithm?
In: 0
It’s the opposite of an exponent. A root is just a fractional exponent, not the opposite. Sqrt(x) = x^1/2])
If I had a^x = b, I can’t do the xth root of both sides, so I do a log.
If I do the log base a (loga) then I can get x = loga(b)
Log2(8) is asking 2 to what power is 8, the answer is 3 because 2^3 is 8.
Ln(e^2 ) is asking e to what power is e^2 , ans the answer is 2.
