Curve Sketching: Logarithmic Curves
Curves with equations of the form
y = logax
where a is a positive number, are called logarithmic curves.
|
|
|
|
For all values of a, the curve intercepts
the x- axis at
x = 1. Also, the curve is
asymptotic to the y- axis.

The above animation sketches a logarithmic curve with a
ranging in value from 0.2 to 5.
