Logarithm to base 2 (that is b = 2) is called the

  • A.binary logarithm
  • B.natural logarithm
  • C.common logarithm
  • D.inverse logarithm

Answer: A

The logarithm to base 2 is the binary logarithm, written \( \log_{2} \) or \( \text{lb} \).

\[ \log_{2} 8 = 3 \quad\text{since}\quad 2^{3} = 8 \]

It is the natural measure in computing, where it counts bits and gives the depth of a balanced binary tree.
