log_a(b) 

Pronounced log base a, this function is used to figure out what exponent you need to raise a to to get b.

log_ab = c can be rewritten as a^c = b.

 5^{log_5^(x+2)}=x+2 

By default, log refers to log_{10}. ln is shorthand for log_e.

 \sqrt{x} = x^{1/2} 

To get the reciprocal of a value, change the sign of the exponent.

 x =
