LOGARITHMS

1. Given a positive real number 'N' and a positive real 27. In the common logarithm, the integral part is called
number 'a' such that that a  1, then there is one characteristic, the decimal part is called Mantissa
and only one real number 'x' so that which is always positive.
ax = N. This 'x' is called the logarithm of 'N' to the 28. If x is the common logarithm, y is the natural
base 'a' and we write x = loga N. logarithm of a + ve number n, then the relation
2. a0 = 1  loga 1 = 0 between x and y is x = ylog10e.
