It might be a good time to review the rules for dealing with logs and exponents ... |

|
|
||
| A couple of notes on logs. "Base 10" logs can be written as: | ||
|
log10a or just log a |
||
| We can change the base of a log or exponent, using the formula: | ||
|
|
||
| "e" is such a special case in exponent type equations, | ||
| it's no big surprise that it has it's own log notation ... | ||
| And even a special name, it's called ln (pronounced el-en) | ||
|
logea = ln a |
