Explain how to find the logarithm, base 18, of a number.

  • k24674 May 11, 2010

    Hello, You cannot compute it directly. You have to use the formula log_18(number) = ln(number)/ln(18). Here log_18 is log in base 18, ln is the natural logarithm (naeperian or log in base e). Alternatively, you can use log_18(number) = log(number)/log(18) where log is log in base 10. If you use those types of calculations a lot, it might be a good idea to get a Casio FX-115ES, or a Casio FX-991 ES. They have other nice features like fraction calculations and radicals. Hope it helps.

Hello,
Sorry I clicked the post a clarification request too fast.

You cannot compute it directly. You have to use the formula

log_18(number) = ln(number)/ln(18).

Here log_18 is log in base 18, ln is the natural logarithm (naeperian or log in base e).

Alternatively, you can use

log_18(number) = log(number)/log(18)

where log is log in base 10.

If you use those types of calculations a lot, it might be a good idea to get a Casio FX-115ES, or a Casio FX-991 ES. They have other nice features like fraction calculations and radicals.

Hope it helps.

Logarithm

The Casio FX-300MS does not provide base 2 logarithms as a single key operation. However, you can use the natural logarithm (ln, base e = 2.7182818...) and the formula

log2 ( x ) = ln( x ) / ln( 2 )

To calculate the base 2 logarithm of 16, key in
[ln] 16 [/] [ln] 2 [=]
and get displayed the correct answer 4.

The same simple formula also works for any other base, and actually for any other logarithms provided by your calculator. The FX-300MS also provides a logarithm to base 10 (lg). You could also
type
[lg] 16 [/] [lg] 2 [=] to get the solution to the problem above, or
[lg] 25 [/] [lg] 5 [=] to get the base 5 logarithm of 25.

Change base log

The TI 86 has two logarithmic functions: natural logarithm (ln) and common (decimal) logarithms (log). If you need the logarithm in any other base than e or 10 you need to use one of the two equivalent expressions
log_b(x) =ln(x)/ln(b) =log(x)/log(b)
Here b is the value of the base of the logarithm and x is the argument (the value whose logarithm you are seeking). Of course the argument x must be a positive number.
Note: On the TI 86 the log function can calculate the logarithm of a complex number, according to the manual.

How to use the log fucntion

To calculate the natural logarithm of a number, enter the number and press the LN key. To calculate the natural logarithm of a calculated result, simply press the LN key.
To calculate the natural logarithm of 3, press 3 LN
To calculate the logarithm to any other base, calculate the natural logarithm and then divide by the natural logarithm of the base.
To calculate the base-10 logarithm of 3, press 3 LN / 1 0 LN =

How to fix error mesage on TI-30Xa. Every time I press LOG an error sign comes up. how do i fix this?

To take the log of a number, enter the number then press the LOG button, then the =. To take the log of a negative number, enter the negative number using the +/- key just to the right of the decimal point. To calculate the negative of a log, calculate the log and then negate it using +/-. To calculate the antilog (inverse logarithm), press 2nd then LOG.

Bear in mind that LOG is the common (base-10) logarithm. For the natural (base-e) logarithm, use the LN key to its right.

HOW DO I TYPE IN LOG BASE 3 OF 18 IN MY TI 30X

You can calculate the log to any base by using the relationship logb(x) = log(x)/log(b) = ln(x)/ln(b). In words, the base-b logarithm of x is the logarithm of x divided by the logarithm of b.

So, to calculate the log base 3 of 18, press
1 8 LOG / 3 LOG =
or
1 8 LN / 3 LN =

What does the subscript between "log" and the

That's the base for the logarithm. Logarithms are usually taken with base 10 (common logarithms, LOG on the calculator) or with base e (natural logarithms, LN on the calculator), but sometimes other bases are used.

How do I find logarithms on the ti89?

For natural logarithms, you can use the ln function (2ND shift of the X key). For example, the natural logarithm of 3 is 2ND [LN] 3 ) ENTER.

For logarithms to other bases, use the log function (diamond shift of the 7 key). For example, the base-2 logarithm of 16 is diamond 7 1 6 , 2 ) ENTER. If the base is 10 (common logarithms), you can omit the comma and the second argument.

How can i get logarithms on the calculator

For natural logarithms Press [2nd][X], enter a positive number, close the right parenthesis and press [ENTER]. If the number is decimal the result is displayed as a number. If the number is integer, put a decimal mark at its end to have the result displayed as decimal.

For decimal logarithms use the ALPHA keyboard to enter the log( command, complete the argument and press ENTER

If you want to calculate log in base a of number b type log(b,a).

Using the correct key combination to determine inverse log

Hi,
Sorry to contradict you but there are many types of logarithms, the most important ones are
  1. the common logarithms (log in base 10),
  2. the natural logarithms (logarithms in base e)
  3. the binary logarithms (logarithms in base 2)
On calculators, the common logarithms are labeled [LOG], and the natural logarithms are labeled [LN].

The inverse function of the natural log function is the exponential (e^(x)), and the inverse of the log in base ten function is the function ten to the power of. It is called (sometimes) the antilog

Ex:
Question What is the antilog of 3.5678?
Answer The antilog of 3.5678 is 10^(3.5678) = 3696.579068
Verification: log(3696.57908) =3.5678

Hope it helps.

How to use the Logerithmic function on this calculator

Hi,

Logarithms in base 10 :Common logarithms
  1. The calculator has a key labeled [LOG]. It allows you to calculate the common logarithms (logarithms in base 10).
  2. To calculate the common logarithm of a (positive) number you type in the number, press the [LOG] key .
  3. Ex: 15.32 [LOG][=] gives 1.1852558765
Logarithms in base e : Natural logarithms
  1. The calculator has a key labeled [LN]. It allows you to calculate the natural logarithms of positive numbers.
  2. Ex: natural log of 15.32 is entered as
  3. 15.32 [LN] gives 2.729159164
Hope it helps.
Don't forget to rate the solution and don't be stingy: 4 thumbs up won't leave you any the poorer.
