GUIDED NOTES: LOGARITHMIC FUNCTIONS

Logarithm: is the exponent to which a specified base is raised to obtain a given value

Exponential Function Logarithmic Function

Converting from exponential to logarithmic form

Converting from Logarithmic to Exponential Form

Integrated Math-Course 3 Ms. McCullough

Properties:

Logarithmic Form Exponential Form

Common Logarithm: a logarithm with base 10*if no base is written assume the base is 10

Evaluate using mental math

logarithmic function: the inverse of an exponential function

Use x = -2, -1, 1, 2, and 3 to graph . Then graph its inverse. Describe the

domain and range of the inverse function.

Use x = -2, -1, 0, 1, and 2 to graph . Then graph its inverse. Describe the domain and range of the inverse function.
