Logarithmic Functions
What is a logarithmic function?
A function that allows us to determine the value of a specified exponent
solve:
3x + 4 = 81
x = 0
Solve
log(3x + 3) = 5
x = 33332.3333
What is our rule of logarithmic functions?
Bp = A <-----> LogBA = P
solve:
4e2x+1 = 12
x ~ 0.0493
Solve
log2(x - 3) = 5
x = 35
Simplify: log5(1/125)
-3
Solve:
e2x - 4 = 0
x ~ 0.6931
Solve:
5 - log3(x - 2) = 1
x = 83
Is the following statement true? Log5525 = 4
No
Solve using natural logs:
3(4)x-2 = 3
x = 6
Solve
9 - 2log(2x + 1) = 25
x ~ 0.5
What is the value of Euler's Number?
2.71828182846....
solve for t:
25000 = 5000(1 + .03/4)4t
t = 54 years
solve:
lnx = lnx
