Logarithmic
Functions
2 f) Find the value of
logaax. {Suggestion: Let y = logaax. Find the value of y
by rewriting this logarithmic equation in exponential form and
then finding y.}
| y' = loga'x' if and only if x' = a'y' | In order to avoid the confusion of x and a in the
definition with the x and a in the statement, we will use x',a'and y' in the definition of the logarithm. Write out the definition of the logarithm of x' with a base of a'. |
| Show work. | Identify the values of y, a, and x in the equation y = loga ax . |
