Interactive Graph of y = log_a x
Change the base to see increasing vs decreasing logs, and compare with the inverse exponential.
A logarithm is the inverse of an exponential. Vary base a and watch growth or decay against the dashed exponential.
How it works
- Open the log-function scene.
- Adjust base a.
- Note the fixed point (1, 0).
- Compare with the dashed exponential.
Compare bases
Set a = 2 and a = 1/2 to show increasing vs decreasing behavior.
FAQ
Why is the domain x > 0?
Exponentials only output positives, so their inverses only accept positives.
Is this tool free?
Yes. It runs in the browser with no install.
Good for class demos?
Yes — project it and ask what changes when you drag a parameter.
How do I write the formula afterward?
Open the equation editor or symbol sheet and copy a clean expression.
