Best Answer

In order to tie a geometric progression to a linear progression. For example, it is easier to calculate 12 log 1.024 than 1.024^12. Exponentials can be simplified.

How do you use logarithms to perform multiplication?

If you take two values A and B, the rules of logs imply: A * B = log A + log B = log (A+B) To put it simply you find the of the two values, sum them and then find the value of the resulting log. and addition is generally easier to perform than multiplication so the result of the logs can be added together. It was used more frequently before the use of pocket calculators and people used tables of logarithms to do multiplication.

How do you graph x to the power of x with both the real and non-real parts?

This depends on what 'space' you want to plot it on. Another thing, are the x values all complex, or just real. I did a writeup on a similar question awhile back only considering real values of x, but complex values of y. For the positive sided, one way is to take the log of x^x, then you have log(y) = x*log(x). You can plot this manually on log paper. If you use natural log, instead, then you have ln(y) = x*ln(x), then take e raised to both sides: y = e^(x*ln(x)). To take natural log of a negative number, consider this: if u = A*e^(iΘ), then ln(u) = ln(A) + (iΘ)*ln(e) = ln(A) + (iΘ)


How do you draw a log graph?

You can get semi-log or log-log graph paper. In the first, the horizontal axis is linear while the vertical axis has a logarithmic scale. You can always use the paper sideways so that the horizontal is logarithmic and the vertical linear. The second type has both axes with logarithmic scales. Alternatively, you calculate the appropriate values and plot the results using the usual Cartesian coordinate system.
