Calculus Section 5.2Apply logarithmic functions Logarithmic Function logbX = Y means by = X b is the base, b>0, and b≠0 A logarithmic function is the inverse of an exponential function. Common logarithms have a base of 10 log X = Y means log10X =Y Natural logarithms have a base of e. ln X = Y means logeX=Y
Write in exponential form. Write in logarithmic form. 25 = 32 e0 = 1 10-3 = .001 log3 9 = 2 log 1000 = 3 ln x = t
Laws of Logarithms • log X + log Y = log(XY) • log X – log Y = log (X/Y) • X log Y = log(Yx) Express as a single logarithm. log 4 + log A – 2 log B ln e5 4 log3 3
Solve the exponential equation. 3e2x + 2 = 14 2 ln x = 4
