Transformations of Logarithmic Functions - 84

Activity Overview

This lesson involves the family of logarithmic functions of the form f(x) = c*logb(x+a).

About the Lesson

This lesson involves the family of logarithmic functions of the form f(x) = c*logb(x+a).

As a result, students will:

  • Manipulate minimized sliders, and observe the effect on the graph of the corresponding logarithmic function.
  • Make a general statement about the effect of each parameter on the graph of the logarithmic function.
  • Match specific logarithmic functions with their corresponding graphs.
  • Relate properties of logarithmic functions to vertical translations of their graphs.

*Note: This activity contains an optional AP Practice Questions document for those students preparing for the AP Precalculus Exam.
