 Definition:

A logarithmic function is a function


defined by

X , if and only if

For all positive real numbers x and b, and b


R E C A L L T H E F O L LO W I N G !
Reminders:
 The mathematical statement “=3” can be
written as which is read as “logarithm of 3 to
the base 2 is equal to x.”
 The word logarithm was coined from the
Greek words: logos, meaning ratio, and
arithmos, which means number
 The exponential function is increasing all
throughout its domain; thus, it is one-to-one
function and its inverse function exists.
R E C A L L T H E F O L LO W I N G !
Reminders:
 In both the logarithmic and exponential forms,
b is the base. In the exponential form, c is an
exponent; this implies that the logarithm is
actually an exponent. Hence, logarithmic and
exponential functions are inverses.

 In the logarithmic form , x cannot be negative.

 The value of can be negative.

 Other Logarithms
Common Logarithms are logarithms with base
10; is a short notation for .

Natural Logarithms are logarithms with base e


(approximately 2.71828) and are denoted by
ln. In other words, is another way of writing .
