Easy Graphs and Inverses: Log and Exponential Functions Made Fun for Kids!

Name: Knowunity
Brand: Knowunity

Logarithmic functions are inverse operations to exponential functions, allowing us to solve complex equations. This lesson covers graph logarithmic functions examples, inverse of exponential functions examples, and provides opportunities to practice simplifying logarithmic expressions.

Key points:
• Logarithmic functions are inverse operations to exponential functions
• The graph of a logarithmic function is a reflection of its corresponding exponential function
• Logarithmic functions have vertical asymptotes and specific domain/range restrictions
• Graphing logarithmic functions involves rewriting in exponential form and creating value tables

Graphing Logarithmic Functions

This section of the lesson focuses on graphing logarithmic functions and understanding their relationship to exponential functions.

The lesson explains that since f $x$ = log_b x and g $x$ = b^x are inverse functions, their graphs are reflections of each other across the line y = x.

Highlight: The y-axis is a vertical asymptote for the graph of f $x$ = log_b x.

Key points about logarithmic graphs are presented:

Domain: x > 0
Range: all real numbers
Vertical asymptote at x = 0

Example: Graph f $x$ = log_2 $x-1$ This example demonstrates how to graph a transformed logarithmic function.

The lesson provides a graphing strategy:

Rewrite the function in exponential form
Create a table of values
Plot the points and draw the curve

Vocabulary: Asymptote - a line that a curve approaches but never touches

Parent Graphs and Transformations of Logarithmic Functions

This section introduces the parent graphs for logarithmic functions and explores how to graph transformed logarithmic functions.

The lesson presents two cases:

Graph of f $x$ = log_b x for b > 1
Graph of f $x$ = log_b x for 0 < b < 1

Highlight: The graph of f $x$ = log_b x is the reflection of g $x$ = b^x in the line y = x.

The lesson then moves on to graphing transformed logarithmic functions. It provides an example of graphing f $x$ = log_3 $x-1$ and explains the steps involved.

Example: Given y = a log $x-h$ + k, the vertical asymptote is at x = h

Students are then given an opportunity to practice graphing a transformed logarithmic function:

Example: Graph f $x$ = -log_2 x - 1

The lesson concludes with a formative assessment, asking students to rewrite and graph y = log_2 x - 1.

Vocabulary: Transformation - a change in the shape, size, or position of a graph

This comprehensive lesson provides students with a solid foundation in logarithmic function graphs, their relationship to exponential functions, and how to apply transformations to these graphs.

6.3 Day 2 Lesson: Logarithmic Functions

This lesson begins with a review of logarithmic expressions and their simplification. Students are reminded of an upcoming graded assessment and are instructed to check their answers for previous practice activities.

Highlight: The lesson emphasizes the inverse relationship between exponential and logarithmic functions.

The lesson introduces the concept that logarithmic functions are the inverse of exponential functions. This is expressed mathematically as:

g $f(x$ ) = log b^x = x f $g(x$ ) = b^ $log_b x$ = x

Definition: Logarithmic functions and exponential functions "undo" each other, meaning they are inverse functions.

Students are then given practice problems to simplify logarithmic expressions and evaluate logarithms.

Example: Simplify log_5 $5^2$ = 2

The lesson also covers finding the inverse of functions, including exponential and logarithmic functions.

Vocabulary: The inverse function is denoted as f^ $-1$ $x$ and represents the "undoing" of the original function.

The app is very easy to use and well designed. I have found everything I was looking for so far and have been able to learn a lot from the presentations! I will definitely use the app for a class assignment! And of course it also helps a lot as an inspiration.

This app is really great. There are so many study notes and help [...]. My problem subject is French, for example, and the app has so many options for help. Thanks to this app, I have improved my French. I would recommend it to anyone.

Samantha Klich

Wow, I am really amazed. I just tried the app because I've seen it advertised many times and was absolutely stunned. This app is THE HELP you want for school and above all, it offers so many things, such as workouts and fact sheets, which have been VERY helpful to me personally.

Anna

I think it’s very much worth it and you’ll end up using it a lot once you get the hang of it and even after looking at others notes you can still ask your Artificial intelligence buddy the question and ask to simplify it if you still don’t get it!!! In the end I think it’s worth it 😊👍 ⚠️Also DID I MENTION ITS FREEE YOU DON’T HAVE TO PAY FOR ANYTHING AND STILL GET YOUR GRADES IN PERFECTLY❗️❗️⚠️

Knowunity is the BEST app I’ve used in a minute. This is not an ai review or anything this is genuinely coming from a 7th grade student (I know 2011 im young) but dude this app is a 10/10 i have maintained a 3.8 gpa and have plenty of time for gaming. I love it and my mom is just happy I got good grades

Brad T

Not only did it help me find the answer but it also showed me alternative ways to solve it. I was horrible in math and science but now I have an a in both subjects. Thanks for the help🤍🤍

David K

The app's just great! All I have to do is enter the topic in the search bar and I get the response real fast. I don't have to watch 10 YouTube videos to understand something, so I'm saving my time. Highly recommended!

In school I was really bad at maths but thanks to the app, I am doing better now. I am so grateful that you made the app.

I found this app a couple years ago and it has only gotten better since then. I really love it because it can help with written questions and photo questions. Also, it can find study guides that other people have made as well as flashcard sets and practice tests. The free version is also amazing for students who might not be able to afford it. Would 100% recommend

Best app if you're in Highschool or Junior high. I have been using this app for 2 school years and it's the best, it's good if you don't have anyone to help you with school work.😋🩷🎀

THE QUIZES AND FLASHCARDS ARE SO USEFUL AND I LOVE THE SCHOOLGPT. IT ALSO IS LITREALLY LIKE CHATGPT BUT SMARTER!! HELPED ME WITH MY MASCARA PROBLEMS TOO!! AS WELL AS MY REAL SUBJECTS ! DUHHH 😍😁😲🤑💗✨🎀😮

Elisha

This app is phenomenal down to the correct info and the various topics you can study! I greatly recommend it for people who struggle with procrastination and those who need homework help. It has been perfectly accurate for world 1 history as far as I’ve seen! Geometry too!
