1 Ratio and Proportion, Indices and Logarithm Chapter 1 Paper 4: Quantitative Aptitude-Statistics Ms. Ritu Gupta B.A. (Hons.) Maths and MA (Maths)
2 2 Introduction to Logarithm Fundamental Knowledge Its application
3 Definition of Logarithm 3
4 Example 4
5 Properties of Logarithm 5
6 Things to Remember 6
7 Laws of Logarithm 7
8 8 Logarithm of a Product Rule Logarithm of the product of two numbers is equal to the sum of the logarithm of the numbers to the same base, i.e. log a (mn) = log a m + log a n
9 Logarithm of a Product Rule Contd 9
10 10 Logarithm of a Quotient Logarithm of a quotient of any two postive numbers to any real base (>1) is equal to the logarithm of the numerator logarithm of the denominator to the same base i.e. log a (m/n) = log a m - log a n
11 Logarithm of a Quotient Contd 11
12 12 Logarithm of a power of a number The logarithm of a number to any rational index, to any real base (>1) is equal to the product of the index and the logarithm of the given number to the same base i.e. log a m n = nlog a m
13 Logarithm of a power of a number Contd 13
14 Change of Base 14
15 Change of Base Contd 15
16 Base Changing Result 16
17 Systems of Logarithm 17
18 18 Systems of Logarithms Natural Logarithms Common Logarithms
19 19 Natural Logarithms The logarithm to the base e; where e is the sum of infinite series are called natural logarithms (e= approx.). They are used in theoretical calculations
20 20 Common Logarithm Logarithm to the base 10 are called common logarithm. They are used in numerical (Practical) calculations. Thus when no base is mentioned in numerical calculations, the base is always understood to be 10.
21 21 Example Power (+) of 10 (Positive Characteristic) Logarithmic Form Power (-) of 10 (Negative Characteristic) Logarithmic Form 10 1 =10 log = = 0.1 log = =100 log = = 0.01 log = =1000 log = = log =-3
22 22 Standard form of a number n Any positive decimal or number say n can be written in the form of integral power of 10 say 10 p (where p is an integer) and a number m between 1 and 10. Therefore n = m x 10 p where p is an integer (positive, negative or zero) and m is such that 1 m<10. This is called the standard form of n. Example- Write the Standard Form for the following (1) (2) (3) (4)
23 Example Continued 23
24 24 Characteristic and Mantissa The logarithm of a number consist of two parts, the whole part or integral part is called the characteristic and decimal part is called Mantissa. Mantissa is always positive and always less than 1. The characteristic is determined by bringing the given number n to the standard form n=m x 10 p, in which p (the power of 10) gives the characteristic and the mantissa is found from the logarithmic table.
25 Example 25
26 Rules to find Characterstic 26
27 27 Rule 1 The characteristic of the logarithm of any number greater than 1 is positive and is one less than the number of digits to the left of the decimal point in the given number. Example: Consider the following table Number Characteristic
28 28 Rule 2 The characteristic of the logarithm of any number less than 1 is negative and numerically one more than the number of zeros to the right of the decimal point. If there is no zero then obviously it will be -1. Example: Consider the following table Number Characteristic
29 29 Mantissa The Mantissa of the common logarithm of a number can be found from a log-table.
30 What is Log Table 30
31 31 How to use the Log Table to find Mantissa 1. Remove the decimal point from the given number. 2. Consider the first two digits. 3. In horizontal row beginning with above two digits, read the number under column headed by 3 rd digit (from the left) of the number. 4. To the number obtained above, add the number in the same horizontal line under the mean difference columns headed by 4 th digit (from the left) of the number. 5. Then pre-fix the decimal point to the number obtained in 4 th point above.
32 32 Example Suppose we have to find the log Here characteristic is 3 1 = 2 For Mantissa, which is the positive decimal part. First remove decimal point, number becomes 1256 The first two digits are 12, the third is 5 and fourth is 6
33 33 Example- Continued Mantissa = 0.( ) = log = =
34 Point to remember 34
35 Point to remember- Continued 35
36 36 Anti Logarithm The reverse process of finding the logarithm is called Antilogarithm i.e. to find the number. If x is the logarithm of a given number n with given base a then n is called antilogarithm or antilog of x to that base. Mathematically, if log a n = x Then n = antilog x
37 37 Example Find the number whose logarithm is From the Antilog Table For mantissa.023, the number = 1054 For mean difference 9, the number = 2 Therefore for mantissa.0239, the number = = 1056
38 38 Example- Continued Here the characteristic is 2 Therefore the number must have 3 digits in the integral part. Hence antilog = 105.6
