Página 31 - Suppose a' = n, then x is called the logarithm of n to the base a; thus the logarithm of a number to a given base is the index of the power to which the base must be raised to be equal to the number. The logarithm of n to the base a is written Iog0 n ; thus loga n — x expresses the same relation as a1 = n.
