  1. Chapter 5 Logarithmic, Exponential, and Other Transcendental Functions

  2. A logarithm is an exponent! For x 0 and 0  a  1, y = loga x if and only if x = ay. The function given by f(x) = loga x is called the logarithmic function with base a. Every logarithmic equation has an equivalent exponential form: y= loga x is equivalent to x =ay A logarithmic function is the inverse function of an exponential function. Exponential function: y = ax Logarithmic function: y = logax is equivalent to x = ay

  3. y (x  0, e 2.718281) x 5 –5 y = ln x is equivalent to ey = x y = ln x The function defined by f(x) = logex = ln x is called the natural logarithm function. In Calculus, we work almost exclusively with natural logarithms!
