IMLOG (ComplexNumber,Base)

• $ComplexNumber$ is any complex number of the form x+iy.
• Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle Base} is the base value of the Log.
  • IMLOG(),returns the logarithm of a complex number to the given base.

Description

• This function shows the log value of a complex number.

• A complex logarithm function is an "inverse" of the complex exponential function.
• It is same as the real natural logarithm ln x is the inverse of the real exponential function.
• Thus, a logarithm of a complex number z is a complex number w such that Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle e^w = z} .

• Adding integer multiples of 2πi gives all the others.
