Logarithms — Syllabus & Topics

Topics covered in Logarithms for SNAP Quantitative Aptitude.

Topics in Logarithms

1

Definition and Basic Concepts

  • If a^x = m, then x = log_a(m), where 'a' is the base, 'm' is the argument, and 'x' is the logarithm
  • Logarithm is only defined for positive real numbers as arguments
  • Base 'a' must be positive and not equal to 1
2

Laws of Logarithms

  • Product Law: log_a(mn) = log_a(m) + log_a(n)
  • Quotient Law: log_a(m/n) = log_a(m) - log_a(n)
  • Power Law: log_a(m^n) = n·log_a(m)
3

Base Change Rule

  • Allows conversion between different logarithmic bases
  • Essential for solving problems with mixed bases
  • Formula: log_a(b) = log_c(b)/log_c(a)
4

Characteristic and Mantissa

  • Any logarithm consists of integer part (characteristic) and decimal part (mantissa)
  • Characteristic can be positive, negative, or zero
  • Mantissa is always written as positive
