  • 👉 Learn all about graphing logarithmic functions. A logarithmic function is a function with logarithms in them. The graph of the parent function of a logarithmic function usually takes its domain from the positive x-axis. To graph a logarithmic function, it is usually useful to first graph the parent function (without transformations). This can be done by choosing 2-3 points from the function and plotting them on the x-y coordinate axis to see the nature of the parent function's graph.
    After graphing the parent function, we then apply the given transformations to obtain the required graph. When a constant is added to x in the function, the graph of the parent function shifts to the left by the same units as the constant added to x. Similarly, when a constant is subtracted from x in the function, the graph of the parent function shifts to the right by the same units as the constant subtracted from x.
    When a constant is added to the function, the graph of the parent function shifts upwards by the same units as the constant added to the function. Similarly, when a constant is subtracted from the function, the graph of the parent function shifts downwards by the same units as the constant subtracted from the function.

    Math can be my friend :) As I take a pre-calculus in my 30's in college after being out of school for God knows how long since I graduated high school and feel dumber than a box of rocks...
    THANK YOU FOR MAKING THIS EFFORTLESSLY EASY, as my college professor sits back and assigns reading material that I cannot understand...Your videos have been helping me for months!

    I think you're my new math teacher. It's been 25 years and I'm getting back into it... there's some stuff that's familiar, and there's some stuff that is vaguely familiar.
    I liked your explanation. It was easy to follow along.

    Those who are watching this and are confused, the graph for (1/2)^X would be different, approaching negative infinity as x approaches negative infinity. He drew the graph wrong on the board. Check desmos!!

    When you say "how sharp the curve is," do you mean it's horizontal stretch? If not then what term describes the transformation determined by "b"

  • @oyudie2745
    @oyudie2745 Před 4 lety +4

    Actually the domain is x > -5 because it won't ever touch -5 so saying
    (-5, infinity) would mean it could touch it infinitely.

    • @Sylpher-xc4cq

      It would stretch the curve, making it more sharp or flat. But the point 1,0 will not change

      it does affect the graph but it is minimal and does not change the important characteristics of the function such as the intercepts or asymptotes. graph it in desmos with different bases and you will see

      Brian McLogan thank you for your reply sir! I hope I can pass the test and not fail anymore! I somehow get the feeling of being scared when doing math because of the topics I don't understand. I was not the best but doing fine in math last year and I don't what happen to me this year. :((

    Late, but at 1:48 it's incorrect. A fraction multiplied by itself yields a lesser result, so with increase of exponent the graph would fall, not rise.
    It's a minor mistake, but it can subliminally plant false ideas into someone's head.

      If you graph y=1/2^x.
      It's gonna be decaying

      true, I do not believe I meant for that to actually graph as an example but yes you are correct
