...Properties of Logarithms. Any positive number being selected as a base, the logarithm of any other positive number is the exponent of the power to which the base must be raised to produce the given number. Thus, if a" = N, then n = \ogaF. This is read, и is equal to log N to the base a. Let a be the base,... | |
