Study Notes

Understanding Logarithmic Functions

Determining intercepts involves finding points where the graph intersects the axes: x-intercepts occur where y=0, while y-intercepts occur where x=0.
Zeroes of a logarithmic function are values of x where the function equals zero, typically found by solving the equation log_b(x) = 0, leading to x=1.
Asymptotes are lines that the graph approaches but never reaches; for logarithmic functions, the vertical asymptote typically occurs at x=0, indicating that the function is undefined for x ≤ 0.

Characteristics of Zeroes

The zeroes of a logarithmic function represent the x-values that yield a function output of zero, indicating critical points in the graph.
Zeroes can contribute to understanding the behavior of the function, particularly when analyzing intervals of increase or decrease.

Significance of Asymptotes

Identifying asymptotes is crucial for understanding the end behavior of logarithmic functions and the limitations of the function's domain.
Vertical asymptotes help identify where the function is undefined, guiding the overall graph shape and predicting behavior near the asymptote.
