Question
Let b > 1.
a. Use the fact that \(u=\log _{b} v \Leftrightarrow v=b^{u}\) to show that a point (u, v) lies on the graph of the logarithmic function with base b if, and only if, (v, u) lies on the graph of the exponential function with base b.
b. Plot several pairs of points of the form (u, v) and (v, u) on a coordinate system. Describe the geometric relationship between the locations of the points in each pair.
c. Draw the graphs of \(y=\log _{2} x\) and \(y=2^{x}\). Describe the geometric relationship between these graphs.
Text Transcription:
u=log _b v Leftrightarrow v=b^u
y=log _2 x
y=2^x
Solution
The first step in solving 11.4 problem number 11 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: Let b > 1.a. Use the fact that \(u=\log _{b} v \Leftrightarrow v=b^{u}\) to show that a point (u, v) lies on the graph of the logarithmic function with base b if, and only if, (v, u) lies on the graph of the exponential function with base b.b. Plot several pairs of points of the form (u, v) and (v, u) on a coordinate system. Describe the geometric relationship between the locations of the points in each pair.c. Draw the graphs of \(y=\log _{2} x\) and \(y=2^{x}\). Describe the geometric relationship between these graphs.Text Transcription:u=log _b v Leftrightarrow v=b^uy=log _2 xy=2^x
From the textbook chapter Exponential and Logarithmic Functions: Graphs and Orders you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
