More questions about Logarithms

These visible examples show the question style. LearnClash turns the full topic into ranked duels and spaced repetition.

  1. 1 Easy

    What is $\log_{10} 0.01$?

    Answer: −2

    Why: Every number between 0 and 1 has a negative log in base 10, because it takes a negative power: $10^{-2} = \frac{1}{100}$.

  2. 2 Medium

    How few yes/no questions always pin down a number up to a million?

    Answer: 20

    Why: Each answer halves the range, and $2^{20}$, which is 1,048,576, is the first power of two above a million.

  3. 3 Hard

    Who invented logarithms independently of Napier?

    Answer: Jost Bürgi

    Why: A Swiss clockmaker, Bürgi published his tables only in 1620, six years after Napier's book appeared.

  4. 4 Easy

    How many times must you double 1 to reach 1,024?

    Answer: 10

    Why: Because $2^{10}$ is just over 1,000, 20 doublings pass a million and 30 pass a billion.

  5. 5 Medium

    Across which line is $\ln x$ the mirror image of $e^x$?

    Answer: $y = x$

    Why: Inverse functions swap coordinates, so the point (0, 1) on $e^x$ becomes (1, 0) on $\ln x$, its mirror image across $y = x$.

  6. 6 Hard

    How often is 1 the first digit in data such as river lengths?

    Answer: About 30%

    Why: Benford's law gives digit d a share of $\log_{10}(1 + \frac{1}{d})$, so 1 leads 30.1% of the time and 9 only 4.6%.
