Functions
6. Simplify the expression a logax.
| logay = logay | Let y = a logax. Rewrite this exponential equation in log form . |
| y = x | Solve for y. |
| Show work. | Use the above two statements to simplify a logax. |
Comment: This statement namely that a logax = x and the statement
from
2 f) that log a a x
= x establish that y = log ax
and y = ax are
inverse functions.
