Logarithms and exponentials in MV Workstation
Exponential growth and its inverse, the logarithm.
Type the maths the way you write it and MV Workstation shows the exact answer, the working and, where it helps, a picture you can drag.
Things to try
| What it is | Type this |
|---|---|
| Base 10 | log(1000) |
| Natural log undoes e | ln(e^3) |
| Base 2 | log2(1024) |
Tools
- Log laws: Expand log(a b / c^2) into simple logs, or combine log(a) + log(b) into one, naming the law at each step.
Functions
| Function | What it does | Example |
|---|---|---|
exp(x) | e raised to the power x. | exp(2) |
ln(x) | Natural logarithm (base e). | ln(e) |
log(x) | Logarithm base 10. | log(1000) |
log2(x) | Logarithm base 2. | log2(8) |
