4.3 Logarithms

$N = a^{x} \Leftrightarrow \log_{a} N = x$

$\log_{a} N = x$ is called the logarithmic form and

$N = a^{x}$ is the index or exponential form.

Note:

The logarithm of a negative number is not defined.
log in the calculator denotes $\log_{10}$ or common logarithm.
$\log_{10}$ may be written as lg.
If the base is other than 10, the base should be specified, e.g. $\log_{3} 81$
