  3. Logarithmic Functions For x > 0, b > 0, and b ≠ 1 The logarithmic function with base b is defined by y = logb x if and only if x = by If f(x) = b x, then f -1(x) = logb x.

  4. Write each exponential equation as an equation involving a logarithm. y = logb x if and only if x = by

  5. Write each logarithmic equation as an equation involving an exponent. y = logb x if and only if x = by

  6. Evaluate each logarithm y = logb x if and only if x = by

  7. Properties of Logarithms For b > 0 and b ≠ 1 1. logb b = 1 2. logb 1 = 0 3. blogb x = x 4. logb bx = x

  8. Use the properties of logarithms to evaluate each expression. y = logb x iff x = by y = log6.1 6.1 iff 6.1 = 6.1y y = log17 172.1 iff 172.1 = 17y y = log532 1 iff 1 = 532y x = 9log9 43 iff log943 = log9 x

  9. Common Logarithmic Functions (base 10) For x > 0, the common logarithmic function is defined by y = log x if and only if x = 10y Natural Logarithmic Functions (base e) For x > 0, the natural logarithmic function is defined by y = ln x if and only if x = ey

  10. Write each exponential equation as an equation involving a common or natural logarithm. Write each logarithmic equation as an equation involving an exponent.

  11. Evaluate each expression without the use of a calculator.

  12. How to sketch the graph of a logarithmic function of the form f(x) = logb x, where b > 0, and b ≠ 1 Step 1: Start with the graph of the exponential function y = bx labeling several ordered pairs.

  13. Step 2: Because the logarithmic and exponential functions are inverses, several points on the logarithmic function can be found by reversing the coordinates of the exponential function. Step 3: Connect the ordered pairs with a smooth curve.

  14. Characteristics of Logarithmic Functions For x > 0, b > 0, b ≠ 1, the logarithmic function with base b has a domain of (0, ∞) and a range of (-∞, ∞). The graph has one of the following two shapes depending on the value of b. f(x) = logb x, b > 1 f(x) = logb x, 0 < b < 1 Graph intersects the x-axis at (1,0). Graph contains the point (b,1). Graph decreases on the interval (0, ∞). y-axis (x = 0) is a vertical asymptote. The function is one-to-one. Graph intersects the x-axis at (1,0). Graph contains the point (b,1). Graph increases on the interval (0, ∞). y-axis (x = 0) is a vertical asymptote. The function is one-to-one.

  15. Sketch the graph of f(x) = -ln(x-3) +2 using transformations. 1. Begin with the graph of f(x) = ln x. 2. Shift the graph 3 units right f(x) = ln(x – 3). 4. Shift the graph 2 units up f(x) = -ln(x – 3) + 2 3. Reflect the graph about the x axis f(x) = -ln(x – 3)

  16. Domain of a logarithmic function consists of all values of x for which the argument of the logarithm is greater than zero. In other words, if f(x) = logb [g(x)], then the domain of f(x) can be found by solving the inequality g(x) > 0. For the function f(x) = - ln(x - 3) + 2, the domain is found by solving x - 3 > 0 to get x > 3. The domain is (3, ∞).

  17. y = logb x iff x = by

  18. y = logb x iff x = by

  19. y = logb x iff x = by If bx = by, then x = y.

  20. For b > 0 and b ≠ 1 1. logb b = 1 2. logb 1 = 0 3. blogb x = x 4. logb bx = x

  21. y = logb x iff x = by

  22. y = logb x iff x = by

  23. y = logb x iff x = by For b > 0 and b ≠ 1 1. logb b = 1 2. logb 1 = 0 3. blogb x = x 4. logb bx = x
