    Form Logarithmic
AI Thread Summary
The equation e^(-1) = c can be rewritten in logarithmic form as ln(e^(-1)) = ln(c), which simplifies to -1 = ln(c). The discussion highlights a misunderstanding of logarithms, questioning the source of the logarithm problems being posed. It emphasizes the equivalence between exponential and logarithmic forms, stating that if y = a^x, then log_a(y) = x. Understanding these concepts is crucial for solving logarithmic equations effectively. The conversation underscores the importance of grasping the fundamentals of logarithms for accurate problem-solving.

thanks
 
You have posted a number of logarithm problems without, apparently, know what a "logarithm" is! If you are not taking a class that involves logarithms, where are you getting these problems?

$y= a^x$ is equivalent to $log_a(y)= x$.

Thread 'Fermat's Last Theorem'

Fermat's Last Theorem has long been one of the most famous mathematical problems, and is now one of the most famous theorems. It simply states that the equation has no solutions with positive integers if It was named after Pierre de Fermat (1607-1665). The problem itself stems from the book Arithmetica by Diophantus of Alexandria. It gained popularity because Fermat noted in his copy "Cubum autem in duos cubos, aut quadratoquadratum in duos quadratoquadratos, et...

Thread 'What Exactly is Dirac’s Delta Function? - Insight'

Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. In Dirac’s Principles of Quantum Mechanics published in 1930 he introduced a “convenient notation” he referred to as a “delta function” which he treated as a continuum analog to the discrete Kronecker delta. The Kronecker delta is simply the indexed components of the identity operator in matrix algebra Source: https://www.physicsforums.com/insights/what-exactly-is-diracs-delta-function/ by...

Thread 'Non-orthogonal bases'

Suppose ,instead of the usual x,y coordinate system with an I basis vector along the x -axis and a corresponding j basis vector along the y-axis we instead have a different pair of basis vectors ,call them e and f along their respective axes. I have seen that this is an important subject in maths My question is what physical applications does such a model apply to? I am asking here because I have devoted quite a lot of time in the past to understanding convectors and the dual...
