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
