Revision Notes — Logarithm and Its Properties

Key concepts, formulas, and definitions from Logarithm and Its Properties for JEE Advanced Mathematics preparation.

Key Topics to Revise

1

Exponential Functions - Foundation

  • f(x) = aˣ where a > 0, a ≠ 1 is an exponential function
  • For a > 1: function is increasing, graph rises from left to right
  • For 0 < a < 1: function is decreasing, graph falls from left to right
2

Logarithmic Functions - Basics and Definition

  • If aˣ = y, then logₐ y = x (logarithm is the inverse of exponential)
  • f(x) = logₐ x has domain (0, ∞) and range R
  • For a > 1: logarithmic function is increasing
3

Fundamental Laws of Logarithms

  • Product Rule: logₐ(mn) = logₐ m + logₐ n
  • Quotient Rule: logₐ(m/n) = logₐ m - logₐ n
  • Power Rule: logₐ(mᵇ) = b logₐ m
4

Logarithmic Equations - Systematic Approach

  • Always check domain: all logarithmic terms must have positive arguments
  • Use logarithmic laws to simplify before solving
  • Convert to exponential form when helpful
