Exponential and Logarithmic Functions
2 The function f is defined for all x R \ {0} and has the property that f (x) = f (x)
a Part of the graph of y = f (x) is given here. Copy and complete the sketch.
b Draw a separate graph to illustrate the graph of y = f (x + 3). Show clearly axes intercepts and
asymptotes.
3x
b i Sketch the graph of f(x) = 2 + 1. State the coordinates of the y-axis intercept and the
equation of the asymptote.
b 2log2 (6x 1) = 10
x x+1
c 9 4.3 + 27 = 0 (note here the dot means multiplication)
d loge (3x 1) = 1
log7 9
a
log7 3
log2 125
b + log3 243
log2 5
7 Find the inverse of each of the following functions and state the domain and range in each case.
5
a f : ( 7 ,) R, where f(x) = 2 loge(7x + 5)
(2 x)
b g: (, 2) R, where g(x) = 3e 5
y
x=2
9 The graph of the function with rule
f(x) = a loge x + b passes through the points (2, 7) and (4, 8).
Find the values of a and b.
10 Write down the transformations, in correct order, which change the function
f(x) = 3 loge (3 2x) into the function f(x) = logex.
