Re: Request for Assistance on Logs/Anti-LOGS



I'm amused how often this gets asked.  Since logarithms are really inverse
exponents, the inverse of a logarithm should be apparent.  Whoever came up
with the term "antilog" should be shot, it just confuses people.  This is
like asking how to find the inverse of the Arcsin.

>Since y=log x and x=10^y are different representations of the SAME
functions
>(using the definition of log) and
>since x=10^y and y=10^x are INVERSE functions,
>then y=log x and y=10^x are inverses of each other,
>so antilog(x)=10^x
