    Logarithms are exponents that indicate the power to which a base must be raised to produce a given number. There are three basic laws of logarithms: 1) The product rule states that the logarithm of a product is equal to the sum of the logarithms. 2) The quotient rule states that the logarithm of a quotient is equal to the difference of the logarithms. 3) The power rule simplifies logarithms of powers by rewriting them as the exponent times the logarithm of the base.

    What is Logarithmic?

    A logarithm is the exponent that a base needs to be raised to produce a given number. For example, 3 is
    the logarithm of 8 to base 2, or 3 = log2 8. Similarly, 2 is the logarithm of 100 to base 10, or 2 = log10
    100.

    What are the basic laws and properties of logarithm?


    Product Rule Law

    Logarithms have a product rule similar to exponents. The logarithm of a product is equal to the sum of
    logarithms.

    log a ( mn )=log a m+ log a n

    Quotient Rule Law

    The quotient rule for logarithms states that log of a quotient is equal to a difference of logarithms. It can
    be derived using the inverse property similar to the product rule.

    log a ( mn )=log m−log n


    a a

    Power Rule Law

    The power rule for logarithms simplifies the logarithms of powers by rewriting them as the exponent
    times the logarithm of the base.
    n
    log a m =n log a m

    Graph of Logarithm/Logarithmic Function

    Importance of Logarithm
    It is interesting to note that logarithms play a significant role in solving exponential equations and
    exploring the properties of exponential functions. Additionally, in the field of calculus, they are
    invaluable for calculating the slope of certain functions and determining the area bounded by certain
    curves. Their importance cannot be overstated, and they continue to be a crucial tool in many
    mathematical applications.

    Real-life applications
    a.)Logarithmic Function
    Earthquake magnitude can be measured using the logarithmic function. Seismographs detect even the
    slightest movement in the earth, which is represented on a seismograph as a wave with amplitude A0.

    A – the measure of the amplitude of the earthquake wave

    A0 – the amplitude of the smallest detectable wave (or standard wave)

    Problem:
    An earthquake is measured with a wave amplitude 392 times as great as A0. What is the magnitude of
    this earthquake using the Richter scale, to the nearest tenth?

    Given:

    A=392 A0 =the magnitude of the earthquake R=?

    Required:
    Find the magnitude of this earthquake using the Richter scale to the nearest tenth.

    Formula:

    R=log
    ( AA ) 0
    Solution:

    Use the Richter scale equation.

    R=log
    ( ) A
    A0

    Since A is 392 times as large as A0, A = 392A0. Substitute this expression for A.

    R=log
    ( 392 A 0
    A0 )
    Simplify the expression

    ( 392 A 0
    A0 )
    =392R=log 392R=2.5932…R ≅ 2.6

    Answer

    The magnitude of this earthquake is 2.6 on the Richter scale.

    Logarithmic of Function
    pH is a measure of the acidity of a liquid based on the concentration of hydrogen ions (H+), measured in
    moles per liter. The pH is calculated using the formula pH = −log[H+]. Low pH values indicate high acidity,
    while high pH values indicate low acidity. Water has a neutral pH of 7.0.

    Problem:

    If lime juice has a pH of 1.7, what is the concentration of hydrogen ions (in mol/L) in lime juice, to the
    nearest hundredth?

    Given:
    pH = 1.7

    H+ = concentration of hydrogen ions

    Formula:
    pH = -log[H+]

    Required:

    Find the concentration of hydrogen ions (in mol/L) in lime juice, to the nearest hundredth.

    Solution:

    Use the formula for pH.

    pH = -log[H+]

    Substitute the known pH into the formula, and represent H+ with the variable x.

    1.7 = -log x

    If 1.7 = -log x, then log x = -1.7.

    -1.7 = log x

    Solve for x.
    −1.7
    x=10 x=0.02

    Answer:

    The concentration of hydrogen ions in lime juice is 0.02.

    c.) Logarithmic of equation


    How do you apply this area of knowledge as a STEM student?
    Logarithmic functions are essential for STEM students as they have applications in various fields. They
    help solve equations involving exponential growth or decay and measure sound intensity, earthquake
    magnitudes, and algorithm efficiency. Understanding logarithmic functions is crucial for solving problems
    and analyzing real-world phenomena in STEM disciplines.
