Logarithmic Functions Teacher Resources

This section explores the properties of logs. More specifically, it investigates how to apply these properties to simplify and expand logarithmic expressions, and to convert between expressions in logarithmic and exponential forms.

Dozens of statistical terms are defined and illustrated in this glossary.

This site shows how to use exponential graphs to model AIDS cases. Very detailed site.

This StudyCards set begins with "what is an equation?" and continues by developing the connection between points on the graph of the related function and a solution to an equation.

Practice the connection between the graphical representation of equations and their algebraic solutions.

Using the power rule, integration is applied to trigonometric and logarithmic functions. Several examples demonstrate the process with detailed solutions.

In this activity, students will analyze exponential growth data and then switch to a logarithmic scale. Includes both an exponential and a linear regression on the data, and asks students to make connections between two forms of...

This lesson will show you how to use the rules of simplifying to combine logs with common bases. It is 3 of 11 in the series titled "Simplifying Logarithmic Expressions."

This lesson will show you how to use the rules of simplifying to combine logs with common bases. It is 7 of 11 in the series titled "Simplifying Logarithmic Expressions."

Shows how to solve a logarithmic equation that has a variable in the base. [3:27]

This site provides an explaination of the number e with equations and examples.

The tutorial examines base 10 and base e. Students learn about the mathematics concepts through examples with detailed solutions.

Solve word problems about exponential situations. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try questions repeatedly, watch a video or receive hints.

In this section different interactive activities are presented which can be used as supplementary material to traditional classroom and allow for interactive study of mathematics.

This site from the Richland Community College provides the detailed lecture notes to a college algebra course, complete with equations and definitions. Content ranges from "functions and their graphs" to "conics and parametric equations."

Three properties of logarithms are presented here (product, quotient, and power properties). Examples are provided to demonstrate how to use the properties to expand and simplify logarithmic expressions.

This site explains the types of logarithms.

The derivatives of logarithmic and exponential functions are used in problems dealing with earthquake measurement and air resistance. The problems allow students to see how these derivatives are applied with practice.
