Concept understanding — Logarithm as the Inverse of Exponentiation

log⁡aN=x\log_a N=x means exactly ax=Na^x=N (for a>0,a≠1,N>0a>0,a\neq1,N>0) — a logarithm IS the exponent needed to turn the base aa into NN. log⁡aa=1\log_a a=1 and log⁡a1=0\log_a 1=0 hold for every valid base. A logarithm is undefined for a non-positive argument, since no real power of a positive base ever produces zero or a negative number.
