Problem 3 Got It? In 1995, an earthquake in Mexico registered 8.0 on the Richter scale. In 2001, an earthquake of magnitude 6.8 shook Washington state. Approximately how many times more intense was the 1995 earthquake than the 2001 earthquake? Use the Formula in Problem 3.

Take Note:

  1. Graph the common logarithmic function y=logx at desmos.com.
  2. On the same plane, graph the inverse of that function, the exponential function y=10^{x}.
  3. Graph the linear function y=x to form a diagonal line.
  4. Zoom and pan your graph to establish an appropriate viewing window.
  5. Capture a screenshot of your graph and upload or paste it onto the Formative canvas.
Note that the graphs of the common logarithmic function and the inverse exponential function are reflexive across the diagonal line. Recall that this is a simple visual test to confirm that functions are inverses.

Problem 4 Got It? What is the graph of y = log4x ? Identify the domain, range, y-intercept, and asymptote(s).

  • Domain: x > 0
  • Domain: x > 4
  • Range: y > 0
  • Range: all real numbers
  • y-intercept: 4
  • No y-intercept
  • Vertical asymptote: x = 0
  • No asymptotes
  • Graph of y=log_4x
  • Domain of y=\log_4x
  • Range of y=\log_4x
  • y-intercept of y=\log_4x
  • Asymptote(s) of y=\log_4x
Problem 4 Got It? Reasoning: Suppose you use the table to help you graph y = log2x.
Recall that if y = log2x, then 2y = x.
Complete the table.
