    This document provides an activity on exponential and logarithmic functions with 5 problems: 1) Filling in function values and graphs for y=4 and y=logx. The graphs are inverses and mirror images across y=x. 2) Using properties of logarithms and exponents to expand logarithmic expressions without products/quotients/powers inside logarithms. 3) Rewriting expressions with multiple logarithms as single logarithms and evaluating when possible.

    Activity 5 – Exponential and

    Logarithmic Functions
    Problem 1:
    a) Let = 4 and = log . Fill in the charts below with the missing
    function values. (5 points)
    =4 = log
    1
    16
    14
    -2
    1
    -1
    4
    0
    16
    = 4 and = log on the axes
    1

    b) Plot points and sketch the graphs of


    below.
    c) Fill in the following information about the graphs of Let

    =4

    and
    = log .

    =4 = log

    Is the function one-to-one? _________ Is the function one-to-one? _________


    (YES or NO) (YES or NO)
    State the domain:_________________ State the domain:_________________

    State the range:_________________ State the range:_________________

    y-intercept is at y = _______________ x-intercept is at x = _______________

    Horizontal asymptote at y = ________ Vertical asymptote at y = __________

    Contains the point (1, _______) Contains the point (_______, 1)

    Notice that the graphs are mirror images across the line y = x (the dashed line).
    This is because the functions = 4 and = log are inverses of each other.
    Since the functions are inverses, we have the following cancellation
    and log

    equations:
    and
    log = = (if > 0 )
    Below are the arithmetic properties of logarithms and the corresponding
    properties of exponents.

    Problem 2:

    Using the properties above, expand the following logarithmic expressions. There
    should be no products, quotients, or powers inside a logarithm. Evaluate
    logarithms of numbers.
    Example of expanding the logarithmic expression using the properties above:
    8
    log = log 8 + log − log = 3 + 3 log − log

    a)

    b)

    c)
    Rewrite each of the following as a single logarithm. Evaluate when possible.

    Example:

    d)

    e)
