Logarithm and Its

Applications
 Exponential Functions

Exponential functions are perhaps the most important class of


functions in mathematics. We use this type of function in the
calculation of interest on investments,· growth and decline rates of
populations, forensics investigations, and in many other applications.
 Definition

y = f(x) = ax, where a > 0; a ≠ 1, and x R.

Range :
 Graphs of Exponential Function

1) When a > 1
2) When 0 < a < 1
 Logarithmic Function

• The logarithm of a number to a given base is the exponent to which


the base must be raised to produce that number.

• Logarithm function is an inverse of exponential function. Hence,


domain and range of the logarithmic functions are range and
domain of exponential function, respectively.
 Graphs of Logarithm Function

• When a > 1
• When 0 < a < 1
 Fundamental Laws of Logarithm

 Question

 Question

Simplify
 Logarithmic Equations

While solving logarithmic equations, we tend to simplify the equation.


Solving equation after simplification may give some roots which are not
defining all the terms in the initial equation. Thus, while solving
equations involving logarithmic function, we must take care of domain
of the equation.
