Graph an Exponential FunctionGraph an Exponential FunctionIf y = 2x we see exponential growth meaning as x slowly increases y grows rapidly.The inverse of this function is x = 2y this represent quantities that increase or decrease slowly.
In general the inverse of y = bx is x = by.. x = by y y is called the is called the logarithmlogarithm ofof x x and is and is usually written as usually written as yy = log = logbbx x and is read and is read

Evaluate Logarithmic ExpressionsEvaluate Logarithmic ExpressionsEvaluate log2 64, remember logb N = k and bk = N so..find k
a. log2 64
2k = 64
2k = 26 so…
k = 6
Now, log2 64 = 6
a. log3 243
3k = 243
3k = 35 so…
k = 5
Now, log3 243 = 5
= k = k

Common LogsCommon Logs• Common Logarithms Common Logarithms are all logarithms that have a are all logarithms that have a
base base of of 10…log10…log 1010 x x = log 3 = log 3• Most calculators have a key for evaluation
common logarithms.

Example 1. Use a calculator to evaluate each expression to
four decimal places.
a. log 3
b. log 0.2
LOG 3 ENTER .4771

AntilogarithmAntilogarithm• Sometime the logarithm of Sometime the logarithm of xx is know to have a is know to have a
value of value of a,a, but but xx is not known. is not known.• Then Then xx is called the is called the antilogarithm of a, antilogarithm of a, written written
as antilog as antilog a.a. • So, if log So, if log xx = = a, a, then then xx = antilog = antilog a.a.• Remember that the inverse Remember that the inverse (or antilog) (or antilog) of a of a
logarithmic function is an exponential functionlogarithmic function is an exponential function ..ie log ie log x = x = 2.7 → 2.7 → xx = antilog 2.7 or 10 = antilog 2.7 or 102.72.7
