1. What is Inverse Log?

The inverse log (or antilog) is the reverse operation of taking a logarithm. It converts a logarithmic value back to its original number by raising 10 to the power of the given value.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the inverse log formula:

Where:

• \( x \) — The logarithmic value (unitless)

Explanation: The calculator simply computes 10 raised to the power of the input value x, effectively reversing the logarithmic operation.

3. Importance of Inverse Log Calculation

Details: Inverse log calculations are essential in various scientific and engineering fields, particularly when working with logarithmic scales (pH, decibels, Richter scale) and need to convert back to linear values.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter the logarithmic value (x) in the input field. The value can be any real number, positive or negative. The result will be the corresponding linear value.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the difference between log and inverse log?
A: Log converts a number to its logarithmic form, while inverse log converts a logarithmic value back to the original number.

Q2: Can I calculate inverse log for negative values?
A: Yes, negative values are valid. For example, inverse log of -2 equals 0.01 (10⁻²).

Q3: What about inverse natural log (ln)?
A: This calculator uses base 10. For natural log (base e), you would use e^x instead of 10^x.

Q4: What are some practical applications of inverse log?
A: Used in chemistry (pH calculations), acoustics (decibel conversions), seismology (Richter scale), and various scientific measurements.

Q5: How precise are the calculations?
A: The calculator provides results with up to 6 decimal places precision, suitable for most scientific and engineering applications.
