A.mistre: Using complete sentences, explain the characteristics and parts of a logarithmic function and its graph?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

kfc???

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

-No spamming.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im not..im jus looking for kfc..besides ur also always part of the spamming

OpenStudy (amistre64):

complete sentences eh, hmmm

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wasnt there smth similar comparing log to sqrt ?

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

Q2: 8. explain the similarities and differences between the graphs of a radical function and a logarithmic function

OpenStudy (amistre64):

once upon a time, there was a line that wanted to be logged. So he bent himself up and stabbed the xaxis at x=1

OpenStudy (amistre64):

other than that, he just laid there and did nothing the rest of his days

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

So a log function cuts the x axis at 1?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

he also went down the deepend as he approached 0

OpenStudy (amistre64):

yes, the basic one

OpenStudy (amistre64):

no shifts

OpenStudy (amistre64):

i got no idea how to explain it in complete sentences really

OpenStudy (amistre64):

i tend to do mine thru interpretive dance

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

Give me 1 point for each, then i will write it in sentences.

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

They aren't intersecting x = 1.

OpenStudy (amistre64):

thats cause they are shifted

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The standard log(x) does.. The ones you are doing have shifts in them.

OpenStudy (amistre64):

if you move something, of course it aint gonna be where its spose to go

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

So, log functions cuts the x axis at x = 1 and then moves till unfinity?

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

infinity*

OpenStudy (amistre64):

yes, the basic log function does

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

ok, thanks. what about question 2?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

you mean log(x+4) ?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

log(x)+4 ? thats a shift up the y axis by 4

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

NOOO. Q2. explain the similarities and differences between the graphs of a radical function and a logarithmic function

OpenStudy (amistre64):

sqrt start at 0,0 and head up to inf; log has no start

OpenStudy (amistre64):

and these are in teh reals

OpenStudy (amistre64):

|dw:1318471268492:dw|

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

similarity = they are real?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

they are similar in that they both curve towards +inf along the reals

OpenStudy (amistre64):

i got no clue what theyd do in the complex

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

That's fine. thanks. :)

OpenStudy (amistre64):

good luck with it :)

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

thanks.
