    Graph of Log X and A X

    Uploaded by

    The document describes an activity to sketch the graphs of a function f(x)=ax and its inverse g(x)=logax for a>0, a≠1. Students are instructed to plot points satisfying f(x) and g(x) on graph paper, connect them with wires, and place a mirror along the line y=x. This demonstrates that f(x) and g(x) are mirror images across the line y=x. Key steps include choosing values for a, finding ordered pairs, plotting points, connecting with wires, and observing the mirror image relationship.

    Activity 7

    OBJECTIVE MATERIAL REQUIRED


    x
    To sketch the graphs of a and logax, Drawing board, geometrical instru-
    a > 0, a ≠ 1 and to examine that they ments, drawing pins, thin wires,
    are mirror images of each other. sketch pens, thick white paper,
    adhesive, pencil, eraser, a plane
    mirror, squared paper.
    METHOD OF CONSTRUCTION
    1. On the drawing board, fix a thick paper sheet of convenient size 20 cm × 20 cm
    (say) with adhesive.

    2. On the sheet, take two perpendicular lines XOX′ and YOY′, depicting
    coordinate axes.
    3. Mark graduations on the two axes as shown in the Fig. 7.
    4. Find some ordered pairs satisfying y = ax and y = logax. Plot these points
    corresponding to the ordered pairs and join them by free hand curves in
    both the cases. Fix thin wires along these curves using drawing pins.
    5. Draw the graph of y = x, and fix a wire along the graph, using drawing pins.

    DEMONSTRATION
    1. For ax, take a = 2 (say), and find ordered pairs satisfying it as

    1 1
    x 0 1 –1 2 –2 3 –3 – 4
    2 2

    1 1
    2x 1 2 0.5 4 8 1.4 0.7 16
    4 8

    and plot these ordered pairs on the squared paper and fix a drawing pin at
    each point.
    2. Join the bases of drawing pins with a thin wire. This will represent the graph
    of 2x.
    3. log2x = y gives x = 2 y . Some ordered pairs satisfying it are:

    1 1 1
    x 1 2 4 8
    2 4 8

    y 0 1 –1 2 –2 3 –3

    Plot these ordered pairs on the squared paper (graph paper) and fix a drawing
    pin at each plotted point. Join the bases of the drawing pins with a thin wire.
    This will represent the graph of log2x.

    4. Draw the graph of line y = x on the sheet.
    5. Place a mirror along the wire representing y = x. It can be seen that the two
    graphs of the given functions are mirror images of each other in the line y = x.

    OBSERVATION
    1. Image of ordered pair (1, 2) on the graph of y = 2x in y = x is ______. It lies
    on the graph of y = _______.
    2. Image of the point (4, 2) on the graph y = log2x in y = x is _________ which
    lies on the graph of y = _______.

    Repeat this process for some more points lying on the two graphs.

    APPLICATION
    This activity is useful in understanding the concept of (exponential and
    logarithmic functions) which are mirror images of each other in y = x.
