IB Math - Logarithms - AI & AA
1. Logarithms on your IB Math Exam
Logarithms are an extremely important topic within IB AI and AA Math Exams. Understanding this topic is paramount as they are woven into larger sections of the exam. As a result logarithms are high yield questions.
Getting up to speed with the key concepts of logarithms can help you massively in acing your IB Math exam and hence - in securing the place at the university of your choice. Let’s try to put some light on this topic.
2. Basics of IB Math Logarithms
In it’s simplest, most generic form - logarithm answers the following question:
How many of one number multiply together to make another number?
For example: How many 5s multiply together to make 25? The answer is obviously 2. Hence, logarithm log5(25) = 2
You can also think of logarithms as the inverse function to exponentiation and ask yourself:
To which power do I need to raise 5 in order to get 25 ?
The answer is obviously the same = 2.
