Exponential & Logarithmic Expressions
Logarithm     to     Exponential form.
When we take base "8" tothe power of "2" we get 64.
When we take base "144" tothe power of "½" we get 12.
When we take base"11" to the power of"-2" we get 1/121.
Think
1441/2 = 12
11-2
82 = 64

When logarithmic expressions contain numbers that are easy powers
of the base, exact values can be determined with out a calculator.
Exponential & Logarithmic Expressions
What power do you have to raise base "4" to in order to get "1/64" as an answer?I need a negative power to get a fractionand I know that 43 is 64.
What power do you have to raise base "2" to in order to get "8" as an answer?I know that 23 is 8.
Think
So . . .  log4(    ) = -3
So . . .  log28 = 3
Write
 1

Answer:
log1010 = 1
Examples:
Your calculator can process logs of base 10. Use it now to calculate
the answer.
If 30 is between 10 and 100 . . . . 
What two values is log1030 between?
Sometimes logarithmic expressions contain numbers that are noteasy powers of the base. When that happens, a calculator is needed.
Answer: Round to 3 decimal places. ie. 2.567
