Unit 8: Logarithmic Functions

Section 8.1: Understanding Logarithms

My favorite logs are logarithms

A logarithmic function is the inverse of an exponential function. 

Inverse of a Function: We can determine an inverse by switching the x­ and y in the equation and then solving for y in 

the new equation.  

Note: When we switch the x and the y we essentially switch the domain and range. This results in the graphs being symmetrical with respect to the line y = x

Complete the table of values for the exponential function y = 10x, and its inverse x = 10y. Then graph both function and the reflection line y = x.

Original Function: y = 10x  Inverse: x = 10y

State the domain and range of each function. What do you notice?

Apr 11­7:13 PM

Given the exponential function            where c > 1,           the inverse becomes          . However, we do not write the inverse as          . Instead, we use a logarithmic function. 

Example 1:  Convert the following.

Here is a summary of some useful properties. The last 2 properties are sometimes called inverse properties since logarithms and powers are inverse mathematical operations that "undo" each other.

Example 11: Below is a table for the exponential function            and its inverse. Complete each table and sketch each graph on the same grid

How are these functions related?

Express            as a logarithm.
