The Domain of a Logarithmic Function

Example: Finding the Domain of a Logarithmic Function Solution:

Example: Illustration of the Domain of a Logarithmic Function

Common Logarithms The logarithmic function with base 10 is called the common logarithmic function.

Example 1: Application The percentage of adult height attained by a boy who is x years old can be modeled by f(x) = 29 + 48.8 log(x + 1), where x represents the boy’s age (from 5 to 15) and f(x) represents the percentage of his adult height. Approximately what percentage of his adult height has a boy attained at age ten?

Properties of Common Logarithms

Natural Logarithms The logarithmic function with base e is called the natural logarithmic function.

Properties of Natural Logarithms

Example 2: Application When the outside air temperature is anywhere from 72° to 96° Fahrenheit, the temperature in an enclosed vehicle climbs by 43° in the first hour. The function f(x) = 13.4 ln x − 11.6 models the temperature increase, f(x), in degrees Fahrenheit, after x minutes. Use the function to find the temperature increase, to the nearest degree, after 30 minutes.
