ee OsJECTIVE Materia REQUIRED To sketch the graphs of a’ and log x, 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. Metuop oF Construction 1. On the drawing board, fix a thick paper sheet of convenient size 20 cm x 20 cm (say) with adhesive. 2404s 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 = a and y = log,x. 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 a’, take a = 2 (say), and find ordered pairs satisfying it as oie 2 os | 4 — | 8 = 14] 07 | 16 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 2. 3. log,x= y gives x=2". Some ordered pairs satisfying it are: a 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 log,x. Mather 2404s 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 = 2*in y on the graph of y = . xis . It lies 2. Image of the point (4, 2) on the graph, y=log,x in y=xis 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. os Tabvatry Manual 2404s
