Graphing the Cosine Curve with a Period Shift
👉 Learn how to graph a cosine function. To graph a cosine function, we first determine the amplitude (the maximum point on the graph), the period (the distance/time for a complete oscillation), the phase shift (the horizontal shift from...

What are the basic properties of logarithms
👉 Learn all about the properties of logarithms. The logarithm of a number say a to the base of another number say b is a number say n which when raised as a power of b gives a. (i.e. log [base b] (a) = n means that b^n = a). The...

Expanding a logarithm as a difference of multiple logarithms
👉 Learn how to expand logarithms using the product/quotient rule. The product rule of logarithms states that the logarithm of a product to a given base is equivalent to the sum of the logarithms of the terms that make up the product to...
