Slide 1

• Topic: Logarithm
• Introduction to the concept of logarithms
• Definition: The logarithm of a number is the exponent to which another fixed value, the base, must be raised to produce that number.
• Notation: logarithm of x to the base b is represented as log_b(x)
• Logarithmic and exponential functions are inverses of each other

Slide 2

• Basic properties of logarithms:
  1. Product Rule: log_b(xy) = log_b(x) + log_b(y)
  2. Quotient Rule: log_b(x/y) = log_b(x) - log_b(y)
  3. Power Rule: log_b(xⁿ) = n * log_b(x)

Slide 3

• Example 1: Find the value of log₂(8)
  • Solution: 2³ = 8, therefore log₂(8) = 3

Slide 4

• Change of Base Formula:
  • log_b(x) = log_a(x) / log_a(b)
  • Allows us to evaluate logarithms with bases other than common logarithms (base 10) or natural logarithms (base e)

Slide 5

• Example 2: Find the value of log₃(5)
  • Solution using the Change of Base Formula: log₃(5) = log₁₀(5) / log₁₀(3)

Slide 6

• Laws of Logarithms:
  1. log_b(1) = 0
  2. log_b(b) = 1
  3. log_b(b^x) = x
  4. log_b(x) = log_a(x) / log_a(b)

Slide 7

• Examples of applying the Laws of Logarithms:
  • log₃(1) = 0
  • log₅(5) = 1
  • log₂(2⁴) = 4
  • log₃(7) = log₁₀(7) / log₁₀(3)

Slide 8

• Common logarithms:
  • Logarithms with base 10
  • Notation: log(x) or simply log₁₀(x)
  • Example: log₁₀(100) = 2, because 10² = 100

Slide 9

• Natural logarithms:
  • Logarithms with base e (Euler’s number, approximately 2.71828)
  • Notation: ln(x)
  • Example: ln(e) = 1

Slide 11

• Applications of Logarithms:
  • Logarithms are used in various fields such as physics, engineering, finance, and computer science
  • Some common applications include:
    1. Exponential growth and decay
    2. pH scale in chemistry
    3. Sound and light intensities
    4. Earthquake magnitude scale (Richter scale)
    5. Signal processing

Slide 12

• Example 1: Exponential Growth
  • The exponential growth formula is given by: A = P * e^rt
  • Where A is the final amount, P is the initial amount, r is the growth rate, and t is the time
  • Logarithms can be used to solve for the unknown variables in this equation

Slide 13

• Example 2: pH Scale
  • The pH scale measures the acidity or alkalinity of a solution
  • It is defined as the negative logarithm (base 10) of the concentration of hydrogen ions (H+)
  • pH = -log₁₀([H+])
  • Example: If the concentration of H+ ions is 0.001 M, then the pH is 3 (log₁₀(0.001) = -3)

Slide 14

• Example 3: Sound Intensity
  • Sound intensity is measured in decibels (dB) using the logarithmic scale
  • The formula is given by: I = 10 * log₁₀(P/P₀)
  • Where I is the sound intensity, P is the sound pressure, and P₀ is the reference sound pressure (usually 20 µPa)

Slide 15

• Example 4: Earthquake Magnitude Scale
  • The Richter scale is used to measure the magnitude of earthquakes
  • The formula is given by: M = log₁₀(A/T) + c
  • Where M is the magnitude, A is the amplitude of seismic waves, T is the period of the waves, and c is a constant
  • Example: If the amplitude is 10⁷ and the period is 1 second, then the magnitude is log₁₀(10⁷/1) + c

Slide 16

• Example 5: Signal Processing
  • Logarithms are used in signal processing to compress or expand the dynamic range of audio signals
  • The decibel (dB) scale is often used to measure and control signal levels
  • Logarithmic functions help maintain a consistent perceived loudness for a wide range of signal amplitudes
