The definition of a logarithm is \"y=log%28b%2Cx%29\" if and only if \"b%5Ey=x\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "A logarithm is basically the short form of this question: What power do raise my base to, to get X.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So for \"4%5E2=16\" what power do raise 4 to, to get 16? 2. In log form this question would be written \"log%284%2C16%29=2\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Now with y to the z power = 5 my question is what power do raise my base (y) to , to get 5 and the answer is z and it's written as \"log%28y%2C5%29=z\"
\n" ); document.write( "
