WARM UP

LOGARITHMIC FUNCTIONS

SWBAT identify key features and apply properties of logarithmic functions.

Given 2 MC and 2 CR problems, students will identify key features and apply properties of logarithmic functions with 80% accuracy.

Objective DOL

HOW ARE LOGARITHMS AND EXPONENTIALS RELATED?Essential Question

LOGARITHMIC TO EXPONENTIAL…

y = logbx

0 = log81

1 = 80

y = logbx

-4 = log2(1/16)

1/16 = 2-4

0 = log81 -4 = log2(1/16)

QUICK PRACTICE

EXPONENTIAL TO LOGARITHMIC…

y = logbx

3 = log101000

y = logbx

1/2 = log93

103 = 1000 91/2 = 3

EVALUATING LOG AND LN ON THE CALCULATOR

Use ln (natural log (base e))

Use log button (common log (base 10))

There isn’t a base 5 button, so…

?

CHANGE OF BASE FORMULA

This will allow us to evaluate a logarithm with any base!

CHANGE OF BASE/EXPAND/CONDENSE Practice rewriting several logarithmic

expressions using the properties (both expanding and collapsing):

WHICH PROPERTIES CAN YOU USE TO SIMPLIFY EACH?

REWRITE-EXPAND-CONDENSE PRACTICE

GIVEN LOG 3 =0.4771, LOG 4 = 0.6021, AND LOG 5 = 0.6990 Use the properties of logarithms to evaluate each

expression. Show your work for each step.

Example: log 12 log 12 = log 3(4) = log 3 + log 4

= 0.4772 + 0.6021= 1.0793

GIVEN LOG 3 =0.4771, LOG 4 = 0.6021, AND LOG 5 = 0.6990 Use the properties of logarithms to evaluate each

expression. Show your work for each step.

DOL #3

Apply properties of logs to expand this logarithm and explain your reasoning.

DOL #4Maryville was founded in 1950. At that time, 500 people lived in the town. The population growth in Maryville follows the equation , where t is the number of years since 1950.

a)Determine when the population had doubled since the founding.

b) In what year was the population predicted to reach 25,000 people?

c) What social implications could the population growth in that number of years have on the town?

DOLMaryville was founded in 1950. At that time, 500 people lived in the town. The population growth in Maryville follows the equation , where t is the number of years since 1950.

a)Determine when the population had doubled since the founding. t = 15.327 years so 1965

b) In what year was the population predicted to reach 25,000 people? t = 24.926 so 1974.9Right before 1975c) What social implications could the population growth in that number of years have on the town?
