1 Section. Logarithmic Functions and Their Graphs 7. LOGARITHMIC FUNCTIONS AND THEIR GRAPHS Ariel Skelle/Corbis What ou should learn Recognize and evaluate logarithmic functions with base a. Graph logarithmic functions. Recognize, evaluate, and graph natural logarithmic functions. Use logarithmic functions to model and solve real-life problems. Wh ou should learn it Logarithmic functions are often used to model scientific observations. For instance, in Eercise 97 on page 6, a logarithmic function is used to model human memor. Logarithmic Functions In Section.9, ou studied the concept of an inverse function. There, ou learned that if a function is one-to-one that is, if the function has the propert that no horizontal line intersects the graph of the function more than once the function must have an inverse function. B looking back at the graphs of the eponential functions introduced in Section., ou will see that ever function of the form f a passes the Horizontal Line Test and therefore must have an inverse function. This inverse function is called the logarithmic function with base a. Definition of Logarithmic Function with Base a For > 0, a > 0, and a, log if and onl if a a. The function given b f log a Read as log base a of. is called the logarithmic function with base a. The equations log and a a are equivalent. The first equation is in logarithmic form and the second is in eponential form. For eample, the logarithmic equation log 9 can be rewritten in eponential form as 9. The eponential equation 5 5 can be rewritten in logarithmic form as log 5 5. When evaluating logarithms, remember that a logarithm is an eponent. This means that log a is the eponent to which a must be raised to obtain. For instance, log 8 because must be raised to the third power to get 8. Eample Evaluating Logarithms Use the definition of logarithmic function to evaluate each logarithm at the indicated value of. a. f log, b. f log, c. f log 4, d. f log 0, 00 a. f log 5 because 5. b. f log 0 because 0. c. f log 4 because 4 4. d. f 00 log 0 00 because 0 0 Now tr Eercise. 00.
2 8 Chapter Eponential and Logarithmic Functions The logarithmic function with base 0 is called the common logarithmic function. It is denoted b log 0 or simpl b log. On most calculators, this function is denoted b LOG. Eample shows how to use a calculator to evaluate common logarithmic functions. You will learn how to use a calculator to calculate logarithms to an base in the net section.

The reason for this is that there is no real number power to which 0 can be raised to obtain. Now tr Eercise 9.

Graphs of Logarithmic Functions To sketch the graph of log a, ou can use the fact that the graphs of inverse functions are reflections of each other in the line.

For f, construct a table of values. B plotting these points and connecting them with a smooth curve, ou obtain the graph shown in Figure.4. 0 f b. Because g log is the inverse function of f, the graph of g is obtained b plotting the points f, and connecting them with a smooth curve. The graph of g is a reflection of the graph of f in the line, as shown in Figure.4. Now tr Eercise Vertical asmptote: = 0 f() = log FIGURE.5 Eample 6 Sketching the Graph of a Logarithmic Function Sketch the graph of the common logarithmic function f log. Identif the vertical asmptote. Begin b constructing a table of values. Note that some of the values can be obtained without a calculator b using the Inverse Propert of Logarithms. Others require a calculator. Net, plot the points and connect them with a smooth curve, as shown in Figure.5. The vertical asmptote is 0 ( -ais). 00 Without calculator With calculator f log Now tr Eercise 4.

Notice how slowl the graph rises for >. The basic characteristics of logarithmic graphs are summarized in Figure.6. FIGURE.6 (, 0) = log a Graph of log a, a > Domain: 0, Range:, -intercept:, 0 Increasing One-to-one, therefore has an inverse function -ais is a vertical asmptote log as 0 a. Continuous Reflection of graph of a about the line The basic characteristics of the graph of f a are shown below to illustrate the inverse relation between f a and g log a. Domain:, Range: 0, -intercept: 0, -ais is a horizontal asmptote a 0 as. In the net eample, the graph of log a is used to sketch the graphs of functions of the form f b ± log a c. Notice how a horizontal shift of the graph results in a horizontal shift of the vertical asmptote. Eample 7 Shifting Graphs of Logarithmic Functions You can use our understanding of transformations to identif vertical asmptotes of logarithmic functions. For instance, in Eample 7(a), the graph of g f shifts the graph of f one unit to the right. So, the vertical asmptote of g is, one unit to the right of the vertical asmptote of the graph of f. The graph of each of the functions is similar to the graph of f log. a. Because g log f, the graph of g can be obtained b shifting the graph of f one unit to the right, as shown in Figure.7. b. Because h log f, the graph of h can be obtained b shifting the graph of f two units upward, as shown in Figure.8. f() = log (, 0) (, ) (, 0) h() = + log f() = log You can review the techniques for shifting, reflecting, and stretching graphs in Section.7. g() = log( ) FIGURE.7 FIGURE.8 Now tr Eercise 45. (, 0)
5 Section. Logarithmic Functions and Their Graphs The Natural Logarithmic Function B looking back at the graph of the natural eponential function introduced on page 0 in Section., ou will see that f e is one-to-one and so has an inverse function. This inverse function is called the natural logarithmic function and is denoted b the special smbol ln, read as the natural log of or el en of. Note that the natural logarithm is written without a base. The base is understood to be e. (, e ) (0, ) f() = e (, e) (, 0) (, ) (e, ) = g() = f () = ln Reflection of graph of f e about the line FIGURE.9 e The Natural Logarithmic Function The function defined b f log e ln, > 0 is called the natural logarithmic function. The definition above implies that the natural logarithmic function and the natural eponential function are inverse functions of each other. So, ever logarithmic equation can be written in an equivalent eponential form, and ever eponential equation can be written in logarithmic form. That is, ln and e are equivalent equations. Because the functions given b f e and g ln are inverse functions of each other, their graphs are reflections of each other in the line. This reflective propert is illustrated in Figure.9. On most calculators, the natural logarithm is denoted b LN, as illustrated in Eample 8. Eample 8 Evaluating the Natural Logarithmic Function Use a calculator to evaluate the function given b f ln for each value of. a. b. 0. c. d. WARNING / CAUTION Notice that as with ever other logarithmic function, the domain of the natural logarithmic function is the set of positive real numbers be sure ou see that ln is not defined for zero or for negative numbers. Function Value Graphing Calculator Kestrokes Displa a. f ln LN ENTER b. f 0. ln 0. LN. ENTER.0978 c. f ln LN ENTER ERROR d. f ln LN ENTER Now tr Eercise 67. In Eample 8, be sure ou see that ln gives an error message on most calculators. (Some calculators ma displa a comple number.) This occurs because the domain of ln is the set of positive real numbers (see Figure.9). So, ln is undefined. The four properties of logarithms listed on page 8 are also valid for natural logarithms.
