Question

y=log base 3(x)
how would I graph this? is there a way to solve this to graph it?

Answer 1

the equation you posted is pretty basic and to graph it, you would normally have to give an x and find y then plot that point... and repeat the process with a different x value.

a better way is to do an x-y plot of y = 3^x. for example.... when
x = 0, y = 1;
x = 1, y = 3;
x = 2, y = 9; ....

you'll get the ordered pairs
(0, 1); (1, 3); (2, 9), ...

these will plot out y=3^x.
to get y=log[base3]x, all you do is reverse the xy of those ordered pairs and plot them.
