    Evaluating logs

    SL AA 1.7

    Some logarithms can be evaluated by hand using the fact that

    loga​b=x⇒ax=b


    For example:

    log81​27=x⇔81x=27

    But 81=34 and 27=33:

    34x=33⇒x=43​


    If a and b are not powers of the same base, the log cannot be computed by hand. But we can use a calculator to evaluate them approximately.

    log3​5≈1.46
