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

  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 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.
