Q

How to graph log functions

A

Convert to exponential form and make a table
Switch x and y on the table and plot points

11
Q

Domain and range of log functions

A

The domain will be (asymptote,∞)
The range will always be (-∞, ∞)

12
Q

The asymptote of a log function

A

Usually, x=0 unless there is a transformation on the inside of the x (moving it left or right)
then the asymptote will be that number

13
Q

What does a vertical stretch do to a point on a graph?

A

Multiplies the y-value by that number

14
Q

What does a horizontal stretch do to a point on a graph?

A

Multiplies the x-value by that number

15
Q

When you add two logs with the same base, what happens?

A

They get multiplied

16
Q

Subtract two logs with the same base, what happens?

A

They get divided

17
Q

If part of a log function (the x of the log function) has an exponent, where does the exponent go?

A

In front of the log
Loga U^n -> n Log a U

18
Q

Change of base

A

Loga b -> Log b/Log a

19
Log 10 =
1
20
What do you do when expanding/condensing, if there is a root?
Get rid of the root and write as a fraction
21
How to solve equations in exponential form
Make bases the same (whatever you take out/add must be applied to the exponent) Once bases are the same, they will cancel and the exponents will be left Solve for x
22
How to solve equations in log form
Make sure the bases are the same and they will cancel out
23
How to solve e equations
get e^x by itself Put ln in front of both sides The ln e^x will cancel and leave the exponent by itself Solve for x and plug into calculator
24
What do you do when you have two log functions on the same side of an equation?
Condense them Change the number on the other side to the log's base to the power of that number Solve
25
What do you do when you have two ln functions on the same side of an equation?
Condense them Change the number on the other side to e to the power of that number Solve
26
How to convert two points to an exponential function
Write two equations using y=ab
