Logarithmic Functions and Properties of Loarithms
Term | Definition |
---|---|
Properties of Loarithms | If x,y and b are positive real numbers, b does not =1, and r is a real number then they are true. |
Property of Loarithms | log b xy=log b x+ log b y |
Quotient of Loarithms | log b x/y=log b x-log b y |
Power Property of Loarithms | log b x r =rlog b x |
Other true logarithms 1 | log b 1=0 |
Other true logarithms 2 | log b b x =x |
Other true logarithms 3 | b log b x =x |
Logarithmic Functions | take a one to one function like f(x)=3 x with an inverse, To get the inverse f -1 switch the coordinates in the table of values of f(x)=3 x |
Equation for f -1 | step 1. replace f(x) by y step 2. interchange x and y step 3. solve for y |
Logarithmic Notation | log b x means the power to which b is raised to produce a result of y. log b x=y means b y =x |
Logarithmic | if b>0 and b does not = 1, then y=log b x means x= b y fro every x >0 and every real number y. |
Logarithmic is an exponent | for log 4 16 is the power that we raise 4 in order to get 16 |
