23-3 Lesson

This document covers the analysis of logarithmic functions, including finding intercepts, asymptotes, domain, and range. It involves examining specific functions such as f(x) = 2^x and its inverse g(x) = log2 x, as well as f(x) = e^x and g(x) = ln x, with tasks including data tables, graphing, and transformations. Additionally, it provides examples of transformed functions and requires the identification of parent functions, asymptotes, and domain and range in various forms.

Lesson 23-3 Graphs of Logarithmic Functions

Learning Targets:
• Find intercepts and asymptotes of logarithmic functions.
• Determine the domain and range of a logarithmic function.
• Write and graph transformations of logarithmic functions.

1. Examine the function f(x) = 2x and its inverse, g(x) = log2 x.


a. Complete the table of data for f(x) = 2x . Then, use that data to
complete a table of values for g(x) = log2 x.
x f(x) = 2x x g(x) = log2 x

b. Graph both f(x) = 2x and g(x) = log2 x on the same grid.

c. What is the line of symmetry between the graphs?

d. What are the x- and y-intercepts for f(x) = 2x and g(x) = log2 x?
f(x) = 2x x - intercept: y - intercept:
g(x) = log2 x x - intercept: y - intercept:
e. State the domain and range of each function using interval notation.
f(x) = 2x Domain: Range:
g(x) = log2 x Domain: Range:

f. Write the equation of any asymptote of each function.

f(x) = 2x: ____________ g(x) = log2 x: ___________

2. Examine the function f(x) = ex and its inverse, g(x) = ln x.


a. Complete the table of data for f(x) = ex . Then, use that data to
complete a table of values for g(x) = ln x.
x f(x) = ex x g(x) = ln x
-1 -1
0 0
1 1

EXAMPLES: Write a transformed function g(x) that models the function


described.
3. f(x) = log7 x is vertically stretched by a factor of 2, reflected across
the y-axis, and translated down 4 units.
4. f(x) = ln x is reflected across the y-axis, horizontally stretched by a
factor of 6, and translated up 8 units.

5. f(x) = ln x is reflected across the x-axis, translated left 4 units, and


translated 7 units down.

6. f(x) = 5 log4 (2x) is reflected across the x-axis, stretched horizontally


by a factor of 3, translated 5 units right, and translated 9 units up.

Describe the transformations of each parent function. Graph each


function. State and show each asymptote. Give the domain and
range. Use interval notation for #7-8, set notation for #9.
