A COLLECTION of LOG RULES Form

Instructions and help about A COLLECTION OF LOG RULES

you know what exactly is a log and why do we even need logs right well logarithms their inverses of exponential functions it's kind of like if somebody said to you you know why do we need square roots well say for example you want to figure out you know how do I solve this equation x squared equals 100 well you say well the inverse or the opposite of squaring is to square root and then we got x equals 10 right or what's the inverse of multiplying and dividing it what's the inverse of adding subtracting so basically the reason we need logs is because we need a way to do the inverse or undo what exponential functions do and you'll see how that plays out as we go through this video so the first thing you want to know is how do you switch from the Log form which is kind of unfamiliar to us right now to the more familiar exponential form and I'm going to show you a couple different ways I'm going to show you my favorite way first now because logs and exponential functions are inverses what
