The Logarithm Mastery Quiz

The logarithm is the inverse function of exponentiation.

The logarithm base 10 of 1000 is 3, because 10^3 = 1000.

The base of the natural logarithm is 'e' (Euler's number), approximately 2.71828.

The binary logarithm (log base 2) is frequently used in computer science.

John Napier introduced logarithms in 1614 as a mathematical tool to simplify calculations.

True: The logarithm of x to base b is the exponent to which b must be raised to produce x. (b^log_b(x) = x)

True: The logarithm base 10 is commonly used in science and engineering for simplifying large numbers and ratios.

True: The natural logarithm has the number e (Euler's number) as its base.

True: The logarithm base 2 (binary logarithm) is frequently used in computer science due to the binary nature of digital systems.
