Logarithms and Logarithmic Functions

  • Remember that a logarithm is just an exponent.
  • Understand that the log function and the exponential function are inverses of each other.
  • Use this to solve problems.
  • Solve logarithmic equations with the same base by equating the expressions whose logarithms have been equated.
  • Solve logarithmic inequalities with the same base by applying the same inequality to the expressions whose logarithms have been compared.
  • In solving logarithmic equations or inequalities, always check for extraneous solutions – values which result in taking the logarithm of a non-positive value in the original equation or inequality. Exclude such values from the solution set.
