LESSON 22:
LOGARITHMIC FUNCTIONS
Prepared by: Checked and Reviewed by:
Student Outcomes
Students solve simple logarithmic equations using the definition of logarithm and logarithmic properties.
Lesson Notes
In this lesson, students will solve simple logarithmic equations by first putting them into the form log𝑏(𝑌) = X, where 𝑌 is an
expression, and X is a number for 𝑏 = 2, 10, and 𝑒, and then using the definition of logarithm to rewrite the equation in the form 𝑏X = 𝑌.
Students will be able to evaluate logarithms without technology by selecting an appropriate base; solutions are provided with this in mind.
Students will need to use the properties of logarithms developed in prior lessons to rewrite the equations in an appropriate form before
solving
The lesson starts with a few fluency exercises to reinforce the logarithmic properties before moving on to solving equations.
Classwork
Opening Exercise
The following exercises provide practice with the definition of the
logarithm and prepare students for the method of solving logarithmic
equations that follows. Encourage students to work alone on these
exercises, but allow students to work in pairs if necessary.

PROCEED TO ADDITION
EXPANDING A LOGARITHM MEANS WRITING IT AS THE
SUM OF TWO LOGARITHMS OR MORE.
