Figure 3.8 shows that an eponential function ƒ2 = b would pass the horizontal line test. So it has an inverse that is a function. This inverse is the logarithmic function with base b, denoted log b 2, or more simpl as log b. That is, if ƒ2 = b with b 7 0 and b Z, then ƒ - 2 = log b. See Figure 3.9. = b b > = b 0 < b < (a) (b) FIGURE 3.8 Eponential functions are either (a) increasing or (b) decreasing. = b = An immediate and useful consequence of this definition is the link between an eponential equation and its logarithmic counterpart. = log b Changing Between Logarithmic and Eponential Form If 7 0 and 0 6 b Z, then = log if and onl if b b 2 =. FIGURE 3.9 Because logarithmic functions are inverses of eponential functions, we can obtain the graph of a logarithmic function b the mirror or rotational methods discussed in Section.4. A Bit of Histor Logarithmic functions were developed around 594 as computational tools b Scottish mathematician John Napier (550 67). He originall called them artificial numbers, but changed the name to logarithms, which means reckoning numbers. Generall b> In practice, logarithmic bases are almost alwas greater than. This linking statement sas that a logarithm is an eponent. Because logarithms are eponents, we can evaluate simple logarithmic epressions using our understanding of eponents. EXAMPLE Evaluating Logarithms (a) log because = 3 = 8. (b) log because 3 /2 3 3 = /2 = 3. (c) log because 5-2 =. 5 2 = 5 25 = (d) log because = 0 =. (e) log because = = 7. Now tr Eercise. We can generalize the relationships observed in Eample. Basic Properties of Logarithms For 0 6 b Z, 7 0, and an real number, log because b 0 b = 0 =. log because b b b = = b. log because b = b b b =. b log b = because log b = log b.

2 SECTION 3.3 Logarithmic Functions and Their Graphs 275 These properties give us efficient was to evaluate simple logarithms and some eponential epressions. The first two parts of Eample 2 are the same as the first two parts of Eample. EXAMPLE 2 Evaluating Logarithmic and Eponential Epressions (a) log 2 8 = log = 3. (b) log 3 3 = log 3 3 /2 = /2. (c) 6 log6 =. Now tr Eercise 5. Logarithmic functions are inverses of eponential functions. So the inputs and outputs are switched. Table 3.6 illustrates this relationship for ƒ2 = 2 and f - 2 = log 2. Table 3.6 An Eponential Function and Its Inverse ƒ2 = 2 f - 2 = log 2-3 /8 / /4 /4-2 - /2 / This relationship can be used to produce both tables and graphs for logarithmic functions, as ou will discover in Eploration. EXPLORATION Comparing Eponential and Logarithmic Functions. Set our grapher to Parametric mode and Simultaneous graphing mode. Set XT = T and YT = 2^T. Set X2T = 2^T and Y2T = T. Creating Tables. Set TblStart = -3 and Tbl =. Use the Table feature of our grapher to obtain the decimal form of both parts of Table 3.6. Be sure to scroll to the right to see X2T and Y2T. Drawing Graphs. Set Tmin = -6, Tma = 6, and Tstep = 0.5. Set the, 2 window to 3-6, 64 b 3-4, 44. Use the Graph feature to obtain the simultaneous graphs of ƒ2 = 2 and f - 2 = log 2. Use the Trace feature to eplore the numerical relationships within the graphs. 2. Graphing in Function mode. Graph = 2 in the same window. Then use the draw inverse command to draw the graph of = log 2. Common Logarithms Base 0 Logarithms with base 0 are called common logarithms. Because of their connection to our base-ten number sstem, the metric sstem, and scientific notation, common logarithms are especiall useful. We often drop the subscript of 0 for the base when using common logarithms. The common logarithmic function log 0 = log is the inverse of the eponential function ƒ2 = 0. So = log if and onl if 0 =. Appling this relationship, we can obtain other relationships for logarithms with base 0.

3 276 CHAPTER 3 Eponential, Logistic, and Logarithmic Functions Basic Properties of Common Logarithms Let and be real numbers with 7 0. log = 0 because 0 0 =. log 0 = because 0 = 0. log 0 = because 0 = 0. 0 log = because log = log. Some Words of Warning In Figure 3.20, notice we used 0^Ans instead of 0^ to check log This is because graphers generall store more digits than the displa and so we can obtain a more accurate check. Even so, because log is an irrational number, a grapher cannot produce its eact value, so checks like those shown in Figure 3.20 ma not alwas work out so perfectl. log(34.5) 0^Ans log(0.43) 0^Ans FIGURE 3.20 Doing and checking common logarithmic computations. (Eample 4) Using the definition of common logarithm or these basic properties, we can evaluate epressions involving a base of 0. EXAMPLE 3 Evaluating Logarithmic and Eponential Epressions Base 0 (a) log 00 = log because = 2 = 00. (b) log 25 0 = log 0 /5 =. 5 (c) log. 000 = log 0 3 = log 0-3 = -3 (d) 0 log 6 = 6. Now tr Eercise 7. ke on a calculator, as illus- Common logarithms can be evaluated b using the trated in Eample 4.

(a) log 34.5 =.537 Á because 0.537Á = (b) log 0.43 = Á because Á = See Figure (c) log -32 is undefined because there is no real number such that 0 = -3. A grapher will ield either an error message or a comple-number answer for entries such as log -32. We shall restrict the domain of logarithmic functions to the set of positive real numbers and ignore such comple-number answers. Now tr Eercise 25. Changing from logarithmic form to eponential form sometimes is enough to solve an equation involving logarithmic functions. EXAMPLE 5 Solving Simple Logarithmic Equations Solve each equation b changing it to eponential form. (a) log = 3 (b) log 2 = 5 SOLUTION (a) Changing to eponential form, = 0 3 = 000. (b) Changing to eponential form, = 2 5 = 32. Now tr Eercise 33.

4 SECTION 3.3 Logarithmic Functions and Their Graphs 277 Reading a Natural Log The epression ln is pronounced el en of e. The l is for logarithm, and the n is for natural. Natural Logarithms Base e Because of their special calculus properties, logarithms with the natural base e are used in man situations. Logarithms with base e are natural logarithms. We often use the special abbreviation ln (without a subscript) to denote a natural logarithm. Thus, the natural logarithmic function log e = ln. It is the inverse of the eponential function ƒ2 = e. So = ln if and onl if e =. Appling this relationship, we can obtain other fundamental relationships for logarithms with the natural base e. Basic Properties of Natural Logarithms Let and be real numbers with 7 0. ln = 0 because e 0 =. ln e = because e = e. ln e = because e = e. e ln = because ln = ln. Using the definition of natural logarithm or these basic properties, we can evaluate epressions involving the natural base e. EXAMPLE 6 Evaluating Logarithmic and Eponential Epressions Base e (a) ln 2e = log because e /2 e 2e = /2 = 2e. (b) ln e 5 = log e e 5 = 5. (c) e ln 4 = 4. Now tr Eercise 3. ke on a calculator, as illus- Natural logarithms can be evaluated b using the trated in Eample 7. LN ln(23.5) e^ans ln(0.48) e^ans FIGURE 3.2 Doing and checking natural logarithmic computations. (Eample 7) EXAMPLE 7 Evaluating Natural Logarithms with a Calculator Use a calculator to evaluate the logarithmic epression, if it is defined, and check our result b evaluating the corresponding eponential epression. (a) ln 23.5 = 3.57 Á because e 3.57Á = (b) ln 0.48 = Á because e Á = See Figure 3.2. (c) ln -52 is undefined because there is no real number such that e = -5. A grapher will ield either an error message or a comple-number answer for entries such as ln -52. We will continue to restrict the domain of logarithmic functions to the set of positive real numbers and ignore such comple-number answers. Now tr Eercise 29. Graphs of Logarithmic Functions The natural logarithmic function ƒ2 = ln is one of the basic functions introduced in Section.3. We now list its properties.

5 278 CHAPTER 3 Eponential, Logistic, and Logarithmic Functions BASIC FUNCTION The Natural Logarithmic Function [ 2, 6] b [ 3, 3] FIGURE 3.22 ƒ2 = ln Domain: 0, q2 Range: All reals Continuous on 0, q2 Increasing on 0, q2 No smmetr Not bounded above or below No local etrema No horizontal asmptotes Vertical asmptote: = 0 End behavior: lim ln = q : q An logarithmic function g2 = log b with b 7 has the same domain, range, continuit, increasing behavior, lack of smmetr, and other general behavior as ƒ2 = ln. It is rare that we are interested in logarithmic functions g2 = log b with 0 6 b 6. So, the graph and behavior of ƒ2 = ln are tpical of logarithmic functions. We now consider the graphs of the common and natural logarithmic functions and their geometric transformations. To understand the graphs of = log and = ln, we can compare each to the graph of its inverse, = 0 and = e, respectivel. Figure 3.23a shows that the graphs of = ln and = e are reflections of each other across the line =. Similarl, Figure 3.23b shows that the graphs of = log and = 0 are reflections of each other across this same line. = = 4 4 = e 4 = ln = 0 4 = log = ln = log (a) FIGURE 3.23 Two pairs of inverse functions. (b) [, 5] b [ 2, 2] FIGURE 3.24 The graphs of the common and natural logarithmic functions. From Figure 3.24 we can see that the graphs of = log and = ln have much in common. Figure 3.24 also shows how the differ. The geometric transformations studied in Section.5, together with our knowledge of the graphs of = ln and = log, allow us to predict the graphs of the functions in Eample 8.

(a) g2 = ln + 22 (b) h2 = ln 3-2 (c) g2 = 3 log (d) h2 = + log SOLUTION (a) The graph of g2 = ln + 22 is obtained b translating the graph of = ln 2 2 units to the left. See Figure 3.25a. (b) h2 = ln 3-2 = ln So we obtain the graph of h2 = ln 3-2 from the graph of = ln b appling, in order, a reflection across the -ais followed b a translation 3 units to the right. See Figure 3.25b. [ 3, 6] b [ 3, 3] (a) [ 3, 6] b [ 3, 3] (b) [ 3, 6] b [ 3, 3] (c) [ 3, 6] b [ 3, 3] (d) FIGURE 3.25 Transforming = ln to obtain (a) g2 = ln + 22 and (b) h2 = ln 3-2; and = log to obtain (c) g2 = 3 log and (d) h2 = + log. (Eample 8) (c) The graph of g2 = 3 log is obtained b verticall stretching the graph of ƒ2 = log b a factor of 3. See Figure 3.25c. (d) We can obtain the graph of h2 = + log from the graph of ƒ2 = log b a translation unit up. See Figure 3.25d. Now tr Eercise 4.

7 280 CHAPTER 3 Eponential, Logistic, and Logarithmic Functions Sound Intensit Sound intensit is the energ per unit time of a sound wave over a given area, and is measured in watts per square meter W/m 2 2. Measuring Sound Using Decibels Table 3.7 lists assorted sounds. Notice that a jet at takeoff is 00 trillion times as loud as a soft whisper. Because the range of audible sound intensities is so great, common logarithms (powers of 0) are used to compare how loud sounds are. Table 3.7 Approimate Intensities of Selected Sounds Intensit Sound W/m 2 2 Hearing threshold 0-2 Soft whisper at 5 m 0 - Cit traffic 0-5 Subwa train 0-2 Pain threshold 0 0 Jet at takeoff 0 3 Source: Adapted from R. W. Reading, Eploring Phsics: Concepts and Applications. Belmont, CA: Wadsworth, 984. Bel Is for Bell The original unit for sound intensit level was the bel (B), which proved to be inconvenientl large. So the decibel, one-tenth of a bel, has replaced it. The bel was named in honor of Scottish-born American Aleander Graham Bell ( ), inventor of the telephone. DEFINITION Decibels The level of sound intensit in decibels (db) is b = 0 logi/i 0 2, where b (beta) is the number of decibels, I is the sound intensit in W/m 2, and I 0 = 0-2 W/m 2 is the threshold of human hearing (the quietest audible sound intensit). Chapter Opener Problem (from page 25) Problem: How loud is a train inside a subwa tunnel? Solution: Based on the data in Table 3.7, b = 0 logi/i 0 2 = 0 log0-2 /0-2 2 = 0 log0 0 2 = 0 # 0 = 00 So the sound intensit level inside the subwa tunnel is 00 db.
