EXAMPLE 3Graphing a Logarithmic Function

Graph:

  1. (a) f(x)=log2x
  2. (b) g(x)=log1/3x
  3. (c) F(x)=lnx

Solution (a) To graph f(x)=log2x, graph y=2x and reflect it about the line y=x. See Figure 66(a).

(b) To graph f(x)=log1/3x, graph y=(13)x and reflect it about the line y=x. See Figure 66(b).

(c) To graph F(x)=lnx, graph y=ex and reflect it about the line y=x. See Figure 66(c).
