We also have learned some of the real-life situations that can be modelled by logarithmic functions. This time around will be more exciting as we will find out how we can apply all these concepts in solving problems involving Logarithms! Let's get started! @) maern Definition: Let a and b be positive eal numbers, such that b 1. The logarithm of with base b, denoted by logsa, is defined as the number such that b!" = a, That is, logpaiis the exponent that b must be raised to produce a So, what are logarithms?

Why is it worth studying anyway? Logarithms allow us to discuss very large numbers in more managratlr wars For example, 10°", a very large number, may be difficult to work with. But its common logarithm log 10" = 31 is easier to grasp. Because logarithms can facihtate understanding of very large numbers (or positive numbers very close to zero), it has applications in various situations, such as sound intensity, pH level, and earthquake magnitude on Richter Scale, These real-life applications of logarithms were initially mentioned in our Module 8 and we will expound more on them this time, @ What is It . ‘Sound Intensity ‘Sound Intensity In acoustics, the level of a sound intensity in decibel (dB) is given by D=101 E = tology where I is the sound intensity in watts/m? and Ig= 10-1? watts/mé (the audible sound intensity) Note: While intensity is an objective measure of sound with respect to energy and area (measured in watts/m), loudness is a subjective measure; it depends on how the listener perceives the sound, If you would check on your usual gadgets, such as cell phones, earphones, and headsets (either on the gadget itself or on the manual provided), you will be able to see | that there are some warnings on the manipulation of volume, especially if the volume exceeds the comfortable hearing levels.
