Yes, there is a [LOG] key to calculate decimal logarithms (logs in base 10) it is marked LOG, and another key marked [LN] to calculate the natural logarithms (logs in base e).
You enter a positive number, then press the appropriate log key (LOG or LN) and the result will be displayed.

How do I find log with a different base (not 10)?

Calculate the log (base 10) of the number, then divide the result by the log (base 10) of the base.
For example, to calculate the base-3 log of 9, calculate the log of 9 to get 0.954 . Divide that by the log of 3 (about 0.477) to get 2.0 .
Since 9 is 3 squared, the log base 3 of 9 is 2, as we just calculated.

You can calculate the log of x to any base b by calculating log(x)/log(b) or ln(x)/ln(b). So, to calculate log 5 to the base 3, press
LOG 5 ) / LOG 3 ENTER

What button do you push on the TI-86 calculator to do the inv log function?

For the inverse natural log, press 2nd LN. For the inverse common log, press 2nd LOG.

For example, to calculate the inverse natural log of 2, press 2nd LN 2 ENTER and you'll get about 7.389 .

How do I find the log button or how do I use the calculator to calculate a log problem? i.e. (log (learning curve))/(log(2))

The natural log is the LN key, located just to the left of the 7 key.

To calculate the common log, use the relationship log(x) = ln(x)/ln(10).

To calculate the natural log of 3, press 3 LN

To calculate the common log of 3, press 3 LN / 1 0 LN =

How do i key in a log

On the very top row, the 4th button over says "log." You would key that in and then key in what you are taking the log of. Something to note, calculators can only key in a log of base 10.

In this calculator how to calculate log inverse of

My way is really slow b/c I don't know the right way, but I always clear my memory (SHIFT, CLR on the 9 button), then type it in as an equation, for example: log(X)=-15.3, then press SHIFT, and SOLVE (on the calc button), then press =. It freezes up the calculator for several seconds though =/

How do i use the inverse log operation on the TI-84

The problem is simple. You're trying to get an [H+] concentration which is obviously going to have a value of some number times ten raised to a negative power. Therefore, you have to insert the negative value of the pH into the 10^(x). When you insert said negative number you will come out with the right answer.
i.e.
The pH of a sample of human blood was calculated to be 7.41. What is the [H+] concentration of the blood?
10^(-7.41) = [H+]
[H+] = 3.9 E-8  
(the answer should only have two sig. figs because the pH has two digits after the decimal.
