Logarithmic
& Exponential Functions
Logarithmic functions:
- loga(x) + loga(y) =
loga(xy);
- log(1) = 0;
- loga(x) - loga(y) =
loga(x/y);
- ploga(x) = loga(x^p);
- logb(x)= loga(x)/loga(b);
Exponential functions:
- a^m * a^n = a^(m+n);
- a^m/a^n = a^(m-n);
- (a^m)^n = a^(mn);
- (ab)^n = a^n * b^n;
- a^(-n) = 1/a^n;
- a^0 = 1;
- a^(1/q), where q is
positive integer, a>0,
- then, = positive
qth root of a;
- x^y = Exp(y * Ln(x));
where exp(z) is e to power of z.
Hyperbolic functions:
- sinhx = 0.5(e^x - e^(-x));
- coshx = 0.5(e^x + e^(-x));
- tanhx = (e^x -
e^(-x))/(e^x + e^(-x));
