Objectives: I will be able to… Rewrite equations between exponential and logarithmic forms Evaluate logarithms Solve logarithms Vocabulary: logarithms, natural logarithms
Why learn about logarithms? were all about exponents A logarithm is the inverse of an exponent We can use logarithms to solve for a missing exponential value
Two special types of logarithms: Logarithmic Function
base number exponent
RewriteExponents ⟶ Logs b = 6 x = 216 b = 10 x =.01 b= e x =.0498
Logarithmic Function
If not an equation, let log equal y as in general form. =y No base means base 10. =y 10 e
Logarithmic Function Change form of logarithm. Change form of 729. Use exponent rules. Not matching exponents, must get rid of exponent with x.
