What is log₂ 5?
Answer
log2 5 ≈
2.3219
log2 is the log base 2.
≈ — the logarithm is irrational; the value is rounded to 4 decimal places.
log2 5 is the power you raise 2 to, to get 5: 2y = 5.
2² = 4 < 5 < 8 = 2³, so 2 < log2 5 < 3
log2 5 = ln 5 / ln 2 ≈ 1.609438 / 0.693147 ≈ 2.3219
Answer point ≈ (5, 2.3219).
The curve y = log2 x passes through (1, 0) and (2, 1) and rises: for x > 1 the log is positive, for 0 < x < 1 negative.
