Below is the graph Solve: log 8(x) log 8(5x) Solution: xor xIt appears that we havesolutions here. Thereforeis not a solution Now the logarithmic form of the statement xy = an+m is log a xy = n +m. Review of Exponential Functions Mathematics Learning Centre, University of SydneyLogarithms Introduction Taking logarithms is the reverse of taking exponents, so you must have a good grasp The logarithm is the inverse function of an exponential function. Introduction to LogarithmsA logarithm is the inverse function for an exponent; therefore, we will review exponential functions first. The number a, called the base of the logarithm, has to be greater thanand cannot be equal toWe Graphing logarithms Recall that if you know the graph of a function, you can find the graph of its inverse function by flipping the graph over the line x = y. So to gure out what a logarithm does, just think about reversing an exponential. First of all the assumptions (restrictions) are important. This Humans like usingas a base because it's intutive. If we take a closer look at the definition of a logarithm however, we will see that not only must we use positive bases, but also we see that the arguments must be positive as well. A lot of human-scaled measurements use base For example, the pre xes of the met-ric system are a kind of base logarithm, with milli-, centi-, i-, and no pre x all referring to di erent scales that di er by a factor of ExampleCalculate the value of log() by hand. Solution: We know that our log has a base of, so, we must rewrite as a power of We can clearly see that is the same as, so, we replace it in the log. Logarithmic Function: Given an exponential function of the form, f ()xa= x, the logarithm function is the inverse function f −1()x and is defined as() log[ ()] f xfxa − = where f −1()x is an exponent on base a, ()ax whose value log() The log baseand thecancel out leavingTherefore, the log() = 3 definition of the logarithmic function is one of the more significant definitions presented in this course. But n = log a x and m = log a y from (1) and so putting these results together we have log a xy = log a x+log a y So, if we want to multiply two numbers together and find the logarithm of the result, we can do this by adding together the logarithms of the two numbers. If ax = y, then loga(y) = x What does it mean?
