Associations to the word «Dex»

DEX, noun. (physics and astrophysics) An order or factor of ten. Used both to refer to the function \(\mathrm{dex}(x) = 10^x\) and the number of (possibly fractional) orders of magnitude separating two numbers. When dealing with log to the base 10 transform of a number set the transform of 10, 100, and 1 000 000 is \(\log_{10}(10) = 1\), \(\log_{10}(100) = 2\), and \(\log_{10}(1 000 000) = 6\), so the difference between 10 and 100 in base 10 is 1 dex and the difference between 1 and 1 000 000 is 6 dex.
