A logarithm is the power to which a base must be raised to produce a given number. It serves as the inverse operation of exponentiation, establishing a fundamental relationship between exponential functions and logarithmic functions. By using logarithms, we can transform multiplicative relationships into additive ones, which simplifies complex calculations, particularly in the context of growth and decay problems commonly associated with exponential functions.
