LOGARITHMIZE convert to logarithm Given a real number (argument x), the logarithm function assigns the exponent n ( or power ) to which a fixed number b ( base ) has to be raised to obtain that argument . The logarithm is the inverse function of b to power n. This function is written as : n = logb x , which allows to obtain the value of xwhich is read as : logarithm in base b of x is equal to n if and only if b raised to n results in xSo , in the expression 10 raised to 3 = 1000 , the logarithm in base 10 of 1000 is 3 , and is written as log10 1000 = 3 .
