lne=1 as exp
e^1=e
is it possibe for a log function to have nagative outputs in the form y=logbx
yes if b is whole and a is fractions
is it possibe for a log function to have c<b<a in the form a=logbc
yes when 3=log1/2(1/8)
log b definition
b>0

y=lnx

why all graphs of logs pass through (1,0) and (b,1)
b^0=1 and b^1=b)
log func graphs must pass thru
(1,0) and (b,1)
-log
reflect over x
log(-x)
reflect over y
writing log equation
find shift, do opposite direction to find base of va
va shows
left vs right shift
passing thru point
just check
how to find inverse of a log from a graph
reflect the original graph across the line (y=x). Another method is to pick a few points on the original log graph, switch the x and y coordinates for each point, and plot these new points to sketch the inverse graph. The inverse of a logarithmic function is always an exponential function.
expanding logs with division
al in denominator will be negative
relationship between exponent and log properties
both involve addition for products with like bases
a/b=e^c
lna/b=c
output of a log func
tells you what exponent you must raise the base to in order to arrive at the input
log from
logbx=y
exp form
b^y=x
common log
if no subscript is given, assume b=10
natural log
if base is e, logex=lnx
domain
(0,inf) since powers of b are always positive
range
(-inf, inf) since exponents can be negative or positve
