This topic introduces logarithms and exponential equations. Logarithms are used to solve exponential equations, and so are used along with exponential functions when modelling
a > 0, a 6= 1 and b > 0 we have: loga b = c , ac = b. What does it mean? First of all the assumptions (restrictions) are important. The number a, called the base of the logarithm, has to be greater than 0 and cannot be equal to 1. The number b (which we take the logarithm of) has to be greater than 0.
A Logarithm is the inverse function for an Exponent -We remember that inverse functions do the exact opposite of one another. -An example can be seen in the table above; the exponential function sends −2 to 1
Essential Question. What are some of the characteristics of the graph of a logarithmic function? Every exponential function of the form f (x) bx, where b is a positive real number. = other than 1, has an inverse function that you can denote by g(x) = logb x. This inverse function is called a logarithmic function with base b.
2D Introduction to logarithms. In this section we shall look at an operation which reverses the ef ect of exponentiating (raising to a power) and allows us to fi nd an unknown power. If you are asked to solve. x2 3 f x ≥ 0.
