Logarithmic and exponential functions
3.2What the syllabus asks of you
- understand the relationship between logarithms and indices, and use the laws of logarithms (excluding change of base)
- understand the definition and properties of eˣ and ln x, including their relationship as inverse functions and their graphs
- use logarithms to solve equations and inequalities in which the unknown appears in indices
- use logarithms to transform a given relationship to linear form, and hence determine unknown constants by considering the gradient and/or intercept.
