I can recognize and evaluate logarithmic functions with base a. I know the
basic properties of logarithms. For example, log a 1  0 and log a a  1
I know how to rewrite logarithms as exponential functions. For example,
log 2 8  3 is the same as 23  8 .
I can graph logarithmic functions. I can use transformations (left/right,
stretch/shrink, reflection, up/down) in the correct order to any logarithmic
function.
I can recognize, evaluate, and graph natural logarithmic functions. I can
use transformations (left/right, stretch/shrink, reflection, up/down) in the
correct order to any natural logarithmic function.
I can use the change-of-base formula to rewrite and evaluate logarithmic
expressions with a calculator.
