Math 30-13Vertical Asymptote at x = 0The y-intercept is 1.There is no x-intercept.The domain is {x | x R}.The range is {y | y > 0}.There is a horizontal asymptoteat y = 0.There is no y-intercept.The x-intercept is 1.The domain is {x | x > 0}.The range is {y | y R}.There is a vertical asymptoteat x = 0.y = 2xy = log2xThe graph of y = 2x has been reflected in the line of y = x, to give the graph of y = log2x.Comparing Exponential and Logarithmic Function Graphs

Math 30-17Characteristics of the Graphs of Logarithmic Functions of the Form f(x) = logbxThe x-intercept is 1. There is no y-intercept.The y-axis is a vertical asymptote. (x = 0)If 0 < b < 1, the function is decreasing. If b > 1, the function is increasing. The graph is smooth and continuous. It has no sharp corners or edges.-2-1623455432-1-26f (x) = logb xb>1 -2-1623455432-1-26f (x) = logb x0
