Doubt in logistic regression

Why is log(Logistic Cost) derived here? What is the benefit ?

@PG_Coursera sorry, what exactly do you mean ? You mean as opposed to the ‘non-log’ of the cost ? Also, what exactly is the cost function you are using here (is it already log loss) ?

It helps with visualization of the cost plot.
