UNDERSTAND
Logarithmic Functions as a representation of real-life situations
What is logarithm and what is a logarithmic function?

A Logarithm is an exponent which b must have to produce y.

Logarithmic Function is the inverse of exponential function f (x) = bx. And is
defined to be equivalent to the exponential equation y = bx. logb y = x if and only if bx = y for b
> 0, b ≠ 1. In either equation, b is called the base and must be a positive number, not equal
to 1.

EXAMPLE 1.

Express each exponential equation in logarithmic form.

a. 32 = x b. 81 = 3x c. 10-2 = 0.01 d. ey = 9

SOLUTION Logarithm of
. a number is
an exponent.
Exponents are logarithms.
a. 32 = x means log3 x = 2

The base remains the same.

b. 81 = 3x means log3 81 = x
Read as: “the log base
c.10-2 = 0.01 means log10 0.01 = -2 3 of 81 is equal to x”

Logarithmic function as representation of Real Life Situation

Logarithmic functions can often be used to model real life situations. It is very helpful
in when working with phenomena that have very wide range of values and keep these values
in a smaller range.
Example: An earthquake monitoring station measured the amplitude of the waves
during a recent tremor. It measured the waves as being 100, 000 times as large as A0, the
smallest detectable wave. How high did this earthquake measure on the Richter scale?
Note: Richter scale is a base-10 logarithmic scale; each order of magnitude is 10 times
intensive than the last one.
Let A - the measure of the amplitude of the earthquake wave
A0 – the amplitude of the smallest detectable wave (or standard wave)
R - the Richter scale measure of the magnitude of the earthquake

Fearly E. Cataylo, Teacher I, Tictapul National High School

 3

Answer: = log (100,000 A0) = 5 The magnitude of the earthquake

is 5 on the Richter scale.

UNDERSTAND
Distinguishing Logarithmic Function, Logarithmic Equation and Logarithmic Inequality

What is logarithmic function?

Logarithmic Function is the inverse of exponential function f (x) = bx. And is defined to be
equivalent to the exponential equation y = bx. logb y = x if and only if bx = y for b > 0, b ≠ 1.
What are the laws of logarithmic function that can be used to rewrite logarithms?

Laws of Logarithms

Let b be a positive number not equal to 1. Let x and y be

any positive number and n be any real number. Then,
Law 1. logb xy = logb x + logb y (Logarithm of a Product)
Law 2. logb x/y = logb x - logb y (Logarithm of a Quotient)
Law 3. logb xn = n logb x (Logarithm of a Power)

EXAMPLE 1.

Use the laws of logarithms to expand each term.

a. log3 (7 • 5) b. log5 (8/x) c. log4 93

SOLUTION

a. log3 (7 • 5) = log3 7 + log3 5 Law 1

b. log5 (8/x) = log5 8 - log5 x Law 2
c. log4 93 = 3 log4 9 Law 3

EXAMPLE 2.

Write each logarithmic expression as a single logarithm.

a. log3 3 + log3 4 b. log (3x + 4) – log x

c. 2 log x + log (x + 2) d. 1/3 log x + 3 log (x - 3)

What is logarithmic equation?

Logarithmic Equation is an equation containing a variable in a logarithmic expression.

It is one in which a logarithm of the variable occurs.

Examples of logarithmic equation is in the form of logb x = c, we can solve the equation by
rewriting it in its equivalent exponential form bc = x.
EXAMPLE 1.
Solve: a. log5 (x + 8) = 3 b. log2 x + log2(x – 6) = 4 c. 4 ln 2x = 12
SOLUTION
a. log5 (x + 8) = 3 This is the given equation
x + 8 = 53 Equivalent exponential equation
x + 8 = 125 53 = 125
x = 117 Subtract 8 from both sides.
CHECK:
log5 (x + 8) = 3
log5 (117 + 8) = 3 Substitute 117 for x.
log5(125) = 3
3=3 log5 125 = 3 because 53 = 125.

b. log2 x + log2(x – 6) = 4
log2 x (x – 6) = 4 This is the given equation.
x (x – 6) = 22 Equivalent exponential equation
16 = x2 – 6x 24 = 16. Apply the Distributive Property
0 = x2 – 6x – 16 Subtract 16 from both sides.
0 = (x – 8) (x + 2) Factor.
x – 8 = 0 or x + 2 = 0 Set each factor to 0.
x=8 x = -2 Solve for x.

c. 4 ln 2x = 12 This is the given equation.

ln 2x = 3 Divide both sides by 4.
eln 2x = e3 Exponentiate both sides.
2x = e3 Inverse Property. eln x = x

x = (𝑒 ) Divide both sides by 2.

Guidelines in Solving Logarithmic Equation

• Isolate the logarithmic term on one side of the equation.

• Write the equation in exponential form.
• Solve for the variable.
• Check to make sure you do not have extraneous solutions.
•
What is logarithmic inequality?
Logarithmic Inequality is an inequality that involves logarithm. Like in exponential
inequalities they are useful in analyzing situations involving repeated multiplication, such as
in the cases of interest and exponential decay.

The following are logarithmic inequalities:

log5 x > 4, log3 x ≤ 5, and log4 (3x + 2) < log4 (x + 5)
Logarithmic inequalities can often be solved just by using the fact
that

• loga x > y is same as x > ay or log xa < y is same as x < ay.

• If loga c > loga d, then c > d.

Fearly E. Cataylo, Teacher I, Tictapul National High School

 8

These two statements hold true regardless of the inequality sign. It is also important
to note that it is only possible to take the logarithm of a positive number. The solution to a
logarithmic inequality can be written in interval notation.

EXAMPLE 1.

Solve each logarithmic inequality.

a. log3 x ≤ 5 b. log4 x ≥ 3
c. log6 (x + 8) ≤ 2 d. log5 (3x + 2) < log5 (2x + 5)
SOLUTION
a. log3 x ≤ 5
Convert the log into exponential form. x ≤ 35
Evaluate the power. x ≤ 243
Exclude zero and all the negative numbers. 0 ≤ x ≤ 243

b. log4 x ≥ 3
Convert the log into exponential form. x ≥ 43
Evaluate the power. x ≥ 64

c. log6 (x + 8) ≤ 2
Another way of writing loga x ≤ y is x ≤ ay. x + 8 ≤ 62
Solve for x. x + 8 ≤ 62
The original inequality was log6 (x + 8) ≤ 2. Because
only the logarithm of a positive number can be found, x + 8 ≤ 36
the expression x + 8 must be greater than 0.
Combine the solutions. Since both x ≤ 28 (36-8) and x
> -8 (0, -8) must be true, then only values of x that are
-8 < x ≤ 28
greater than -8 and less than or equal to 28 satisfy
both x ≤ 28 and x > -8.
The solution is
Answer in interval notation.
(-8, 28]

d. log5 (3x + 2) < log5 (2x + 5)

The bases are the same so remove the logs from the 3x + 2 < 2x + 5
inequality.
Solve the inequality. x<3
Find the values that are not included by setting each 3x + 2 > 0 and
side of the given inequality greater than 0. 2x + 5 > 0
Solve the inequality x > - 2/3 and x > - 5/2
Combine the inequalities. -2/3 < x < 3

• If loga c > loga d, then c > d.

Property of Equality for Logarithmic Functions

• If b is a positive number other than 1,

then logb x = logb y if and only if x = y.

Properties of Inequality for Logarithmic Functions

• If b > 1, x > 0, and logb x > y, then x > by.

• If b > 1, x > 0, and logb x < y, then 0 < x < by.

• If b > 1, then logb x > logb y if and only if x > y, and

logb x < logb y if and only if x < y.

Note: These properties also hold true for ≤ and ≥. When solving logarithmic
inequalities, make sure you identify extraneous solutions. If a solution results in taking a
logarithm of a number less than or equal to zero, it is extraneous.
