What is Antilog?

Antilogarithm is the inverse operation of logarithm. If logₐ(b) = c, then antilogₐ(c) = b. It finds the original number before taking the logarithm.

Understanding Antilogarithm

An antilogarithm (antilog) is the inverse operation of a logarithm. If log_b(x) = y, then antilog_b(y) = x. In other words, the antilog tells you what number you started with when you know its logarithm.

Mathematical Formula:

antilog_b(y) = b^y

Where b is the base and y is the logarithm value

Common Antilog (Base 10)

Used in everyday calculations, pH calculations, and engineering applications. If log₁₀(x) = y, then 10^y = x.

Natural Antilog (Base e)

Essential for calculus, natural processes, and exponential growth/decay. If ln(x) = y, then e^y = x.

Custom Base Antilog

Used in computer science, information theory, and specialized applications where different bases are required.

Practical Examples

Example 1: pH to Hydrogen Ion Concentration

If pH = 3.5, find the hydrogen ion concentration [H+]:

[H+] = antilog₁₀(-3.5) = 10^(-3.5) ≈ 3.16 × 10^(-4) mol/L

Example 2: Natural Logarithm

If ln(x) = 2.3026, find x:

x = antilog_e(2.3026) = e^(2.3026) ≈ 10

Example 3: Sound Intensity

If sound level = 80 dB, find intensity ratio:

Ratio = antilog₁₀(80/10) = 10^8 = 100,000,000

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between antilog and exponential?

An antilog is specifically the inverse of a logarithm operation, while exponential is a general term for b^x. Antilog always refers to finding the original number from its logarithm, but exponential can refer to any power function.

When should I use antilog instead of exponentiation?

Use antilog when you're working with logarithmic data and need to convert back to the original scale. This is common in scientific measurements like pH, decibels, and Richter scale values.

How accurate is this antilog calculator?

Our calculator provides high precision results using JavaScript's built-in mathematical functions. It's suitable for most scientific, engineering, and educational applications with precision up to 15 decimal places.

Can I calculate antilog for negative values?

Yes, the calculator supports negative logarithm values. The antilog of a negative number will be between 0 and 1 for base 10, and between 0 and 1 for base e as well.

What are common antilog values I should know?

Common values include: antilog₁₀(0) = 1, antilog₁₀(1) = 10, antilog₁₀(2) = 100, antilog_e(0) = 1, antilog_e(1) = e ≈ 2.718, antilog_e(ln 10) = 10.

How does antilog relate to exponential growth?

Antilog is fundamental to exponential growth calculations. Many natural processes like population growth, radioactive decay, and compound interest use exponential functions that are calculated using antilogarithms.

Antilog Properties and Rules

Important Properties:

Identity Property:

antilog_b(0) = 1

Product Property:

antilog_b(x + y) = antilog_b(x) × antilog_b(y)

Power Property:

antilog_b(n × x) = (antilog_b(x))^n

Base Change Property:

antilog_b(x) = b^x
