    What is log_16(1/4)=?
    (i.e. log base 16 of 1/4)

      log_16(1/4) = log_16(1) - log_16(4)
      = 0 - log_16(16^(1/2)) = -(1/2)log_16(16) = -1/2*1 = -1/2

    The only thing you need to be careful about, is that in some industries “log” is implied to be a different base.
    I was in a programming class and we used “log” that was base 2 but it wasn’t indicated. The teacher said it didn’t matter and you can use any base you like but 2 was standard for this application.

    • @lagomoof
      @lagomoof 4 месяца назад +1

      And in number theory, "log" often means the natural logarithm, written "ln" in other places.
      The OP who was sitting this test ought to have been able to deduce that the logarithm was supposed to be base ten from the multiple choice answers. Such deduction might count as part of the test.
      On the other hand, maybe the question setters threw in an answer that was correct for "log" being a different base... but I doubt they'd do something like that unless it was part of one of those deliberately hard tests designed to ensure failure.

    I hate log without a base as the base can sometimes be e (i.e. natural log) or 2 (in compuer science), making it quite confusing. In fact, in most applications, natural log instead of log base 10 is more useful. Of course, in some cases such as the big-O notation, the base does not matter.

    one other way of thinking about logs (and especially so logarithmic scales/axes) is by thinking about orders of magnitude. and hundred is two orders of magnitude bigger than one; hence, the log is two.

    manufacturer has 750 m2 of cotton textile and 1,000 m2 of polyester. Every pair of shoes (1 unit)
    needs 1 m2 of cotton and 2 m2 of polyester. Every jacket needs 1.5 m2 of cotton and 1 m2 of
    polyester. The price of the shoe is fixed at K50 and the jacket at K40. What is the number of

      The default base is an arbitrary convention. Of course mathematicians prefer _e_ as the base, but this is referred to as a "Navy practice test", so it's not for mathematicians.

      Different disciplines have different conventions for what unspecified log means. In Wolfram Alpha, log means complex log, which is log base e, and the full picture that includes log base e of negatives and complex numbers. The most common convention is that unspecified log is log base ten, as that is what is of interest to scientific applications. Some disciplines use unspecified log to mean log base 2, like computer science.
