1. BELL RINGER Write, in paragraph form, everything you remember about logarithmic and exponential functions including how to convert, solve logarithmic equations, and how to change base.

3.  Exponential GRAPHS  Logarithmic

4. INVERSE

5. NOTES  The inverse of an exponential function is a common logarithmic function.  Convert from exp. to log  b x = y  log b y = x  Convert from log to exp.  log b y = x  b x = y  Calculators only do log 10 aka “common log”, so log is really log base 10.  Change of Base  log b a = log a log b  The inverse of natural log [ln(x)] is base e (Euler’s number).  Convert from natural log to base e  ln y = x  e x = y  Convert from base e to natural log  e x = y  ln y = x

6. PROPERTIES OF LOGS-- NOTES There are 7 laws of exponents and 3 properties of logarithms that you need to know. Remember, logarithms are the inverse of exponentials and some rules apply…

7. PROPERTIES OF LOGS-- NOTES 1)log b m + log b n= log b mn 2) log b m – log b n = log b m n 3) p log b m = log b m p

8. SOLVING LOG EQUATIONS 1.If possible, get log of the same bases equal and “drop the log.” 2.If not, then change to exponential form and solve.
