Grade and Section_____________________________

I. Learning Competencies:
 Lesson 1 – Introduction to Logarithms.
 Lesson 2 –Solving Logarithmic Functions, Equations, and Inequalities.
 Lesson 3 – Basic Properties of Logarithms.
 Lesson 4 – Laws of Logarithms.
II. Objectives:
After going through this module, you are expected to:
1. Define logarithmic function;
2. Distinguish logarithmic function, logarithmic equation, and logarithmic
inequality,
3. Convert logarithmic expressions to exponential expressions and vice versa;
4. Illustrate the laws of logarithm; and
5. Solve problems involving logarithmic functions, equations, and inequalities.
III. Key Concepts

The equation x = 2y is often written as a logarithmic function (called log

function for short). The logarithmic function for x = 2y is written as y =
log2 x or f(x) = log2 x. The number 2 is still called the base. In general, y =
logb x is read, “y equals log to the base b of x,” or more simply, “y equals log
base b of x.” As with exponential functions, b > 0 and b ≠ 1.

Logarithmic Form Exponential Form

log2 16 = 4 42 = 16

log7 1 = 0 70 = 1

log5 5 = 1 51 = 5

4-1 =
10-2 = 0.01
