CAT Logarithms & Exponents: A Strategic Guide

Fluency with exponents and their inverse, logarithms, is a critical skill for solving a specific but important set of questions on the CAT. This guided path will teach you the fundamental rules and the application strategies needed to manipulate and simplify these complex expressions.

Section 1: Mastering Exponents (Indices)

The Foundation: What is an Exponent?

Start with the core definitions, including positive, negative, zero, and fractional exponents. Build an intuitive understanding with our interactive explorer.

Core Application: Properties & Laws of Exponents

Master the essential rules for manipulating exponents, such as the product, quotient, and power rules, which are the foundation for understanding logarithms.

Section 2: Deconstructing Logarithms

The Foundation: What is a Logarithm? (NEW)

Build an intuitive understanding of what a logarithm represents by visually translating between exponential and logarithmic forms.

Core Skill: Applying Log Properties (NEW)

Learn the three essential log properties (Product, Quotient, and Power rules) and practice applying them to simplify complex expressions.
