LOGARITHM

-
Logarithm can be defined in many ways like:

  • Cambridge dictionary definition: The number that shows how many times a number called the  base, has to be multiplied by itself to produce another number. Adding or taking away logarithm can replace multiplying or dividing large numbers.
  • Oxford dictionary definition: A quantity representing the power to which a fixed number ( the base ) must be raised to produce a given number.
  • Given a positive real number x, there is one and only one real number y such that e^y= x, we call this number y as logx.
  • In general, the logarithm to the base a of the number x is the number y such that y=logx and you can write a^y=x.
  • Logarithm is inverse operation of exponentiation.
  • Logarithm to the base 10 is called common logarithm and the for the base e, it is called natural logarithm.

What is an Euler trail ? An Euler trail ( Euler path ) is a trail in a finite graph which visits every edge exactly once. An Euler trail is a walk on the edges of a graph which uses each edge exactly once. Euler trail is also called an Euler chain , Euler walk , Euler path . Here is the puzzle as you could see in the picture. Your job is to cross each line exactly once without lifting your pen.  In the following figure consider every marked line as a single line and each must be crossed once without lifting you pen. Here are some examples already done, but in each case, one line is left ( marked red ) to be crossed . See the figures. Have you got the solution ? well, this is impossible to do however hard you try.  Explanation Consider the figure below and find the numbers of line reaching the centre of each box. In the figure you could see that there are three centre points with odd number o...

Here we would solve a dot puzzle Consider the figure below Connect all the dots without lifting the pen with only 4 straight lines and the lines do not overlap. Here are some examples already done for you but not been solved because some dots left to be crossed. You could see that some dots have been left to be crossed by the line. So do you think you could solve it. Let us try one more time. Now, what do you see, the puzzle has been solved with the required conditions. Find out some more solutions to this question.
