Antilog Formula:
From: | To: |
The antilogarithm (antilog) is the inverse operation of the logarithm. If logb(y) = x, then the antilog is y = bx. It's commonly used in mathematics, engineering, and scientific calculations.
The calculator uses the antilog formula:
Where:
Explanation: The calculator raises the base (b) to the power of the number (x) to find the antilogarithm.
Details: Antilogs are essential for converting logarithmic values back to their original numbers, used in pH calculations, decibel measurements, and exponential growth problems.
Tips: Enter the logarithmic value (x) and the base (b). Common bases are 10 (common logarithm) and e (natural logarithm ≈ 2.71828).
Q1: What's the difference between log and antilog?
A: Log finds the exponent, antilog finds the original number from the exponent.
Q2: How do I find antilog on a scientific calculator?
A: For base 10: Enter number, press "10x" button. For natural log: Enter number, press "ex".
Q3: What is the antilog of 0?
A: The antilog of 0 is always 1, regardless of base, because any number to the power of 0 equals 1.
Q4: Can the base be negative?
A: No, the base must be a positive real number (except 1).
Q5: What's the relationship between ln and antiln?
A: ln is natural logarithm (base e), antiln is ex.
