Introduction to Logarithms
1. Look at the slip of paper you have received. 2. For each equation in exponential form, label the 𝒃𝒂𝒔𝒆 (𝑩), 𝒆𝒙𝒑𝒐𝒏𝒆𝒏𝒕 (𝒀) and 𝒑𝒓𝒐𝒅𝒖𝒄𝒕(𝑿). (If you’re paper has logarithmic form do not do this step.) 3. Find the person in the room who has a slip of paper with the same numbers as you. (Their numbers can be physically smaller or be in a different position from yours, but the value must be the same.) 4. Assuming the base, exponent, and product have not changed, label each in the logarithmic equation on your partner’s slip of paper. 5. Use the words base, exponent, and product to explain what you think a “log” is or does.

A2.L8-4.Notes
LESSON 8-4: LOGARITHMIC FUNCTIONS AS INVERSES Algebra Objective Students will be able to graph logarithmic functions and evaluate logarithmic
expressions. Language Objective Students will describe the process of evaluating a logarithm and justify their
choice to express a number as a particular power of a common base.
Big Idea
An exponential function of the form 𝑦 = 𝑏𝑥 has an inverse of the form 𝑥 = 𝑏𝑦 . To express “𝑦 𝑎𝑠 𝑎 𝑓𝑢𝑛𝑐𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛 𝑜𝑓 𝑥” for the inverse, we write 𝑦 = log𝑏 𝑥.
You can read log𝑏 𝑥 as “𝑙𝑜𝑔 𝑏𝑎𝑠𝑒 𝑏 𝑜𝑓 𝑥.” In other words, the logarithm y is the exponent to which
be must be raised to get x.
𝒚 = 𝒍𝒐𝒈𝒃𝒙 (Logarithmic Form) 𝒙 = 𝒃𝒚 (Exponential Form)
If the logarithm does not have a base, we assume that the base is _______________.
Directions: Draw a line from each logarithm equation to its exponential equation in Column B.
Column A Column B 1. 𝑙𝑜𝑔2 16 = 4 A. 103 = 1000
2. 𝑙𝑜𝑔3 9 = 2 B. 𝑏𝑦 = 𝑥
3. 𝑙𝑜𝑔 1000 = 3 C. 32 = 9
4. 𝑙𝑜𝑔𝑏 𝑥 = 𝑦 D. 24 = 16
Write each equation in exponential form. Use mental math to solve each equation.
5. 𝑦 = 𝑙𝑜𝑔3 27
6. 𝑦 = 𝑙𝑜𝑔5 25

A2.L8-4.Notes
Example #1
Evaluate 𝑙𝑜𝑔2 64
𝑙𝑜𝑔2 64 = 𝑥
First, write in exponential form.
2𝑥 = 64
Then, find a common base.
2𝑥 = 26
Solve for the missing exponent.
2𝑥 = 26
𝑥 = 6
∴ 𝑙𝑜𝑔2 64 = 𝟔
Check:
26 = 2 ∙ 2 ∙ 2 ∙ 2 ∙ 2 ∙ 2 = 64
Example #2
Evaluate 𝑙𝑜𝑔3 81
Example #3
Evaluate 𝑙𝑜𝑔4 32
Example #4
Evaluate 𝑙𝑜𝑔8 16
Example #5
Evaluate 𝑙𝑜𝑔10 0.01
Example #6
Evaluate 𝑙𝑜𝑔2 0.5
