16 - Simplify Logarithms - Part 1 (Log Bases, Calculate Logarithms & More)

In this lesson, you will learn how to simplify logarithms in expressions and in equations. We will learn that a logarithm (log) is really the inverse of an exponential. Because of this, the log expression can be written in exponential form. Writing a logarithm as an exponential function is the easiest way to calculate logarithms.

Your videos are crystal clear, and your format captivates the student’s attention and keeps him/her focused throughout. I told my daughter’s online precalculus teacher about you. Her teacher warned me at the beginning of the school year that the precalculus lesson plans were poorly developed: only a summary page and the option of two books. I’ve had to find teachers’ explanations solely online through YouTube. You are emerging as one of the best. Besides your format, having multiple in-depth videos exploring a topic really integrates the topic. There are great teachers out there that explain well, but usually only a single comprehensive video is done on a topic. Meaning, there is no repetition. Those videos are fantastic, but I find those kind of videos are when the student is already familiar with the topic. I am going to have my daughter watch all your exponential and log videos when she finishes precalculus after she finishes in a couple of weeks because her current course exempted all students from logs and exponentials. So, she learned it in algebra 2, which she is foggy on, and the points you go over are exactly the thing she needs to be refreshed on. Your videos are better than a real-life teacher. My daughter’s older sister is home from Stanford (a STEM major). She has access to her sister and all her sister’s friends who are math majors (who she Skypes every day). She doesn’t bother because of YouTube’s videos and especially yours which are slowly emerging as her favorite.

Stumbled on this video in my inbox, and it brought back memories,
Sir, I actually used your tutorials to get through university, thanks alot.
And your tutorials are very clear, especially for beginners, I believes my mom who didn't go to college can use your tutorials and graduate with a first class.

[ensafazzam]

I use your tutorials to get through university Exams, your tutorials are very clear, especially for some one like me left collage about 15 years ago and now returned to study . so thank you

[keronfontanelle]

Loving the way you are teaching this here rn

[elahawaziri]

you are a great teacher thanks very much and also its clear to you care your students and you explain every lesson very clearly

[vivianmulenga]

God bless you so much 🙏. I now understand maths properly because of your videos may God 🙏 continue blessing you for us 🙏.. You are indeed our blessing.

[lirenchan]

Great teaching, great lesson. Many thanks.

[squishyhombre]

Gave me a much needed perspective on logarithm.

where is the 2nd part of this simplify Logarithms? I searched through the playlists but couldnt find

[ulysses_grant]

Arses were severely kicked in the lesson.
This is amazing!!

Does the base really not matter, when you want to get 1? I remember having heard that 0^0 is not really defined though it makes Sense saying it also is 1 regarding the behavior, when going to infinity. Remember that it is the same thing with saying that 0^x ist 0, which also find's its weak Point, when you take 0 for x.

[milishadutta]

What if the base and root are different? Can you show us one ?
For example log 5 as base and power as root 3..

[StephenRayWesley]

Log5^125=1250 √3^√4 √5√^10 √1^2^2 √1^√5^√2. 2^2 √1^√1 2^2 (x+2x-2)

Learn to understand
Understand to see
See to practice
Practice to grow.

If you're getting to the root part, it's 8:36

[zbigniewbrzezinski]

You are wonderful.
Thank you very much.

[JamesSarantidis]

Sorry, for being off topic. I came here through your youtube add. Love both science and math. But I would like to know that Groovy Song you have on your Youtube Add. Thank you in advance!!!

Two Thumbs Up! Somehow I was not getting the LIKE button to work. For testing purposes, I clicked the Dislike and saw message "Feedback .. shared .. creator". Sorry about that but got the Like to work finally!

So, Log5, 125 means *"how many times I have to power 5 to get 125?"*
5(one)x 5(two)= 25, then 25 x5(three) = 125
*I had to power 5 three times.*
Log5, 125= 3
