Article 11 — Appendix A.22log or lg decimal logarithmic functionCategory. Mathematics. Abstract. Decimal logarithm: definition, graph, properties and identities. References. This article is a part of scientific calculator Li-L, scientific calculator Li-X, scientific calculator Li-Lc and scientific calculator Li-Xc products. 1. DefinitionDecimal logarithmic function is the inverse of the 10-base exponential function 10x2. GraphDecimal logarithmic function is defined on positive part of the real axis — so, its domain is (0, +∞). 0 is singular point. Function graph is depicted below — fig. 1. ![]() Function codomain is entire real axis. 3. IdentitiesBy definition: log10x ≡ xReciprocal argument: log(1/x) = −logxProduct and ratio of arguments: log(xy) = logx + logylog(x /y) = logx − logy Power of argument: logxa = a logxBase change: logax = logx /logalogax = logbx /logba 4. SupportDecimal logarithmic function log or lg is supported in: Decimal logarithmic function of the complex argument log or lg is supported in:
