23
Q

logarithm definition

A

logb(x)= p

means b^p=x

24
common log
log with a base of 10 (written as log)
25
natural log
logarithm with a base of e (written as ln)
26
logarithm properties
logb(b^t)=t b^logb(t)=t logb(x*y)= logb(x) + logb(y) logb(x/y)= logb(x) - logb(y) logb(x^t)= t * logb(x)
27
change of base
logb(x)= log(x)/log(b) OR logb(x)= ln(x)/ln(b)
28
anytime base is larger its a fraction
log9(3)
29
no real answer (CANT do logs of 0 or negative numbers)
log2(-8)
30
vertical shift
g(x)=f(x)+k is a vertical shift of f(x) up k units if k>0 (or positive) and down k units if k<0 (or negative)
31
horizontal shift
g(x)= f(x+h) is a horizontal shift of f(x) right h units if h<0 and left k units if h>0
32
reflections
g(x)=-f(x) is a reflection of f(x) about the horizontal axis, and g(x)= f(-x) is a reflection of f(x) about the vertical axis
33
vertical scaling
g(x)= a*f(x) is a vertical stretching of f(x) if |a|>1 and a vertical compression if 0<|a|<1
34
horizontal scaling
g(x)= f(b*x) is a horizontal compression of f if |b|>1 and a horizontal stretching if 0<|b|<1
35
y= -2(5(x-2))^3-6
original function= x^3 vertical shift down= 6 units horizontal shift right= 2 units vertically stretched by a factor of 2 (outside) reflected over= x axis horizontally compressed by a factor of 5
36
composition
(f o g)(x)= f(g(x)) is the composition of f with g
37
periodic function
f(t)= f(t+p)
38
period
the length of a cycle in a periodic function
39
amplitude
amplitude is half the vertical height of the function y= maxy-miny/2
40
midline
midline is the horizontal line through the midpoint between the maximum and minimum y- value y= maxy+miny/2
41
coeterminal angles
a= b+ 360k (for degrees) or a=b+2πk (for radians) for some integer k
42
arc length
s= p*r for radius r and angle p in radiants
43
to convert from degrees to radians
multiply the degree angle by: π radius/180 D>R * π/180
44
to convert radians to degrees
multiply the radian angle by: 180/π radians R>D * 180/π
45
for an ordered pair (x,y) on the unit circle with associated angle a we define:
x= cos a y= sin a
46
transformation of sine and cosine functions
Sine: f(t)= Asin(Bt)+D cosine: f(t)= Acos(Bt)+D amplitude |A|= maxy-miny/2 period P= 2π/B; this implies that B= 2π/P vertical shift D (mindline)= maxy+miny/2
