Explain how you might use the properties of logarithms to simplify a complex equation before solving it. Provide an example of such an equation.
Explain how you might use the properties of logarithms to simplify a complex equation before solving it. Provide an example of such an equation.
Logarithmic properties allow combining or separating logarithmic terms. For example, the equation log(x^2) + log(y) = log(z)
can be simplified to log(x^2 * y) = log(z)
, then x^2 * y = z
, making it easier to solve for one of the variables.
Describe a scenario where understanding the domain of a logarithmic function is crucial in a real-world application. Give a specific example.
Describe a scenario where understanding the domain of a logarithmic function is crucial in a real-world application. Give a specific example.
In sound intensity calculations, the domain is crucial because you can't have a negative or zero intensity. For decibel calculations using the formula dB = 10 * log10(I/I0)
, where I
is the sound intensity and I0
is the reference intensity, I
must be greater than zero for the logarithm to be defined.
How does changing the base of a logarithm affect the graph of the function? Explain using the change of base formula.
How does changing the base of a logarithm affect the graph of the function? Explain using the change of base formula.
Changing the base of a logarithm scales the function vertically. According to the change of base rule: log_a(x) = log_b(x) / log_b(a)
. Thus, if a
is changed, we are in effect multiplying the log function by a constant reciprocal to log_b(a)
, resulting in a vertical stretch or compression.
Explain how the graph of $y = log_2(x)$ is transformed to obtain the graph of $y = log_2(x-3) + 1$.
