Answer:

the other name is: Inverse function to exponentiation.

Step-by-step explanation:

In mathematics, the logarithm is the inverse function to exponentiation. That means the logarithm of a given number 'x' is the exponent to which another fixed number, the base 'b' must be raised, to produce that number x.

The logarithm of x to base b is represented as: \(\log_{b}x\)

More explicitly, the defining relation between exponentiation and logarithm is:

\(\log_{b}x=y\) exactly if \(b^{y}=x\).
