<strong>Logarithms</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Antilogarithms</strong> 15<br />

Keys<br />

These numbered paragraphs provide<br />

explanations for the corresponding numbered<br />

keys on the illustration below.<br />

1. % A displays a menu of all log<br />

functions.<br />

Notes<br />

• The examples on the transparency<br />

masters assume all default settings.<br />

• E ends a logarithmic function.<br />

log calculates the common logarithm<br />

(base 10).<br />

10^ calculates the common antilogarithm<br />

(10 raised to the power of the value<br />

entered).<br />

ln calculates the natural logarithm (base<br />

e, where e = 2.718281828459).<br />

e^ calculates the natural antilogarithm (e<br />

raised to the power of the value).<br />
