Meaning of log3(27)\log_3(27)

What power of 33 gives 2727?

Default base when not written in logarithm

1010

loga(y)=x\log_a(y) = x means

ax=ya^x = y

Constraints on base aa in loga(y)\log_a(y)

a>0a > 0 and a1a \neq 1

Notation for common logarithm

log(y)\log(y) or log10(y)\log_{10}(y)

Notation for natural logarithm

ln(y)\ln(y) or loge(y)\log_e(y), e2.718e \approx 2.718

Product rule for logarithms

loga(xy)=loga(x)+loga(y)\log_a(xy) = \log_a(x) + \log_a(y)

Quotient rule for logarithms

loga(xy)=loga(x)loga(y)\log_a(\frac{x}{y}) = \log_a(x) - \log_a(y)

Power rule for logarithms

loga(xn)=nloga(x)\log_a(x^n) = n \log_a(x)

Change of base formula

loga(x)=logb(x)logb(a)\log_a(x) = \frac{\log_b(x)}{\log_b(a)}
