Logarithmic Equations
This guide explores the creation and graphing of logarithmic equations, focusing on functions in the form f(x) = logb(x - h) + k. Learn how to graph logarithmic functions using the parameters h and k to build tables of values. Discover the process of solving equations where f(x) equals zero or a constant, like 3. The guide also discusses changing bases and their implications on function behavior, as well as comparing and contrasting exponential and logarithmic functions. Ideal for students and educators alike!

Presentation Transcript
Create a Logarithmic Equation • Create a logarithmic function of the form • f(x) = logb (x-h) + k
Graphing • Graph the Logarithmic Function Remember the base matters Use h and k to help build a table of values
Create an Equation • Set f(x) = 0 and solve • F(x) = logb(x-h) + k • 0= logb (x-h) + k
Change the value of F(X) • Now set f(x) = 3 • Solve new equation
Change the Base • Change to a new base And solve for f(x) = 0
Last STEP • Compare and Contrast Exponential and Logarithmic Functions
Finished Product • Make Logarithmic Equation • Graph it • Solve for F(x) = 0 • Solve for F(x) = 3 • Change to a new base and solve for F(x) = 0 • Compare and Contrast Exponential and Logarithmic • Bonus: Compare the two bases what would that do to the graph
