Topic 2.14: Logarithmic Function Context and Data Modeling

Learning Objective: 2.14.A

Construct a logarithmic function model.

Essential Knowledge: 2.14.A.1

Logarithmic functions are inverses of exponential functions and can be used to model situations involving proportional growth, or repeated multiplication, where the input values change proportionally over equal-length output-value intervals. Alternately, if the output value is a whole number, it indicates how many times the initial value has been multiplied by the proportion.

Essential Knowledge: 2.14.A.2

A logarithmic function model can be constructed from an appropriate proportion and a real zero or from two input-output pairs.

Essential Knowledge: 2.14.A.3

Logarithmic function models can be constructed by applying transformations to f(x)=alog⁡bxf(x) = a\log_b x based on characteristics of a context or data set.

Essential Knowledge: 2.14.A.4

Logarithmic function models can be constructed for a data set with technology using logarithmic regressions.

Essential Knowledge: 2.14.A.5

The natural logarithm function is often useful in modeling real-world phenomena.

Essential Knowledge: 2.14.A.6

Logarithmic function models can be used to predict values for the dependent variable, and they may be used to determine values of the independent variable.
