Graphs Exponential Logarithmic
Inverse
Notes The inverse of an exponential function is a common logarithmic function. Convert from exp. to log bx = y logb y = x Convert from log to exp. logb y = x bx = y
convert
NOTES Calculators only do log10 aka “common log”, so log is really log base 10. Change of Base logba = log a logb logb1 = 0 Can’t take log 0 or log of a negative # Can’t do log base 0, or 1, or negative #
Change that base

Exit Ticket 1. How do you “convert”? 2. How do you “Change Base”? 3. What is the base if it doesn’t say?
