Result: x = 1000

Verification: log₁₀(1000) = 3 ✓

Key Formulas

Antilogarithm

x = b^y

Where y is the logarithm and b is the base

Logarithm (inverse)

y = log_b(x)

The logarithm is the inverse of antilog

Relationship

log_b(b^y) = y

Logarithm and antilog cancel out

Understanding Antilogarithms

What is an Antilogarithm?

An antilogarithm (or antilog) is the inverse function of a logarithm. If the logarithm of a number x to base b is y, then the antilogarithm of y to base b is x. In mathematical terms: if log_b(x) = y, then antilog_b(y) = x.

The Relationship

  • Logarithm asks: "To what power must we raise the base to get this number?"
  • Antilogarithm answers: "What number do we get when we raise the base to this power?"
  • They are inverse operations that "undo" each other

Applications

Science & Engineering

pH calculations, decibel conversions, Richter scale

Finance

Compound interest, exponential growth calculations

Computer Science

Algorithm complexity, binary operations

Statistics

Log-normal distributions, data transformation

Important Properties

Identity: antilog_b(log_b(x)) = x

Zero power: antilog_b(0) = 1

Unit log: antilog_b(1) = b

Negative logs: antilog_b(-y) = 1/antilog_b(y)

Addition rule: antilog_b(x + y) = antilog_b(x) × antilog_b(y)

Multiplication rule: antilog_b(n × y) = [antilog_b(y)]^n
