A logarithm is an EXPONENT
y = log a x
log a x = y equivalent
it is said, "log base a of x is y."
Logarithmic form
Exponential form a y = x
∴ log a x = y and a y = x
ARE EQUIVALENT

1. Describe the transformation: f(x) = 4 x is the the mother function.a. f(x) = 4x 3b. f(x) = 4 (x2)
c. f(x) = 4 (x+3) 4
2. Write as a logarithmic equation.a. 42=16b. 63= 216c 84=4096
3. Write as an exponential equation.a. log3 81=4b. log5 125 = 3c. log41024=5

Logarithmic Functions and Their GraphsGraphs of logarithms:
Graph: Change of base!!
Domain=_________Range=__________xintercept=_______yintercept=_______
x=2y
Without a calculator, rewrite as an exponential, then substitute.Now graph y = 2 x
What can you tell me about the two graphs?

Inversescheck it out when both in exponential form.
Reflect the y = x line. (axis of symmetry!)
Solving: f(x) = log3 x What is its inverse?
Switch the x and y and solve for y!

The graph has the yaxis as a vertical asymptote.
Does that make sense?
If you put the equation in exponential form, what can you put for y to make x negative or zero?
NOTHING!!

The Natural Logarithmic Function (works the exact same way)
Just remember...
it's easier to manipulate when you see the base

Calculator only evaluates logs in two bases.
Base 10 and Base e
Evaluate and round to three decimal places
ln10
Must use the change of base formula for all others!!! log5125= ?

The relationship between the number of decibels β (named after Alexander Graham BELL ) and the intensity of sound I in watts/m2 is given by:β = 10 log (I/10-12)a. Determine the number of decibels of a sound with an intensity of 1 watt/m2
b. Determine the number of decibels of a sound with an intensity of 10-2 watt/m2
c. The intensity of sound in part a is 100 times as great as that in part b. Is the number of decibels 100 times as great? Explain.
