    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.

Rewrite in logarithmic form:

e^(-1) = c
 
Mathematics news on Phys.org
$$\ln\left(e^{-1}\right)=\ln(c)$$

$$-1=\ln(c)$$
 
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 'Video on imaginary numbers and some queries'

Hi, I was watching the following video. I found some points confusing. Could you please help me to understand the gaps? Thanks, in advance! Question 1: Around 4:22, the video says the following. So for those mathematicians, negative numbers didn't exist. You could subtract, that is find the difference between two positive quantities, but you couldn't have a negative answer or negative coefficients. Mathematicians were so averse to negative numbers that there was no single quadratic...

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 'Unit Circle Double Angle Derivations'

Thread 'Unit Circle Double Angle Derivations'

Here I made a terrible mistake of assuming this to be an equilateral triangle and set 2sinx=1 => x=pi/6. Although this did derive the double angle formulas it also led into a terrible mess trying to find all the combinations of sides. I must have been tired and just assumed 6x=180 and 2sinx=1. By that time, I was so mindset that I nearly scolded a person for even saying 90-x. I wonder if this is a case of biased observation that seeks to dis credit me like Jesus of Nazareth since in reality...
