A graph that shows the plotted course of a logarithmic expression.
The graph of ( \log(x) + 6 ) is a vertical translation of the graph of ( \log(x) ) upwards by 6 units. This means that every point on the graph of ( \log(x) ) is shifted straight up by 6 units, while the shape and orientation of the graph remain unchanged. The domain of the function remains the same, which is ( x > 0 ).
A normal graph plot one variable against another. If one of these variable has a very rapid rate of growth it would quickly disappear off the graph. If you used a graph large enough to show the entire range you would lose much of the detail at the lower end. Using a log or semi-log graph reduces the rate of change whilst still allowing you to represent the relationship between the variables. You can see an example of log graph paper using the lnk in the related links section below.
why would you use a semi-logarithmic graph instead of a linear one?what would the curve of the graph actually show?
semi log paper is very beneficial for us because when we get a big value of the experiment then we cannot put it easily to a general graph paper because we have to take more than two or three graph paper .so in semi log paper we can easily put the big value of the experiment because we know that log(1)=0.so when the value of log is greater than we can use it.
A semi-log graph is used in plotting exponential graphs. It is used in graphing data with a very large range on one axis which does not follow a linear progression.
They both pass through the point (1,0) and have the same general shape. The log(x) curve is less steep than ln(x).
The growth rate of a function is related to the shape of an n log n graph in that the n log n function grows faster than linear functions but slower than quadratic functions. This means that as the input size increases, the n log n graph will increase at a rate that is between linear and quadratic growth.
b/c of big values which are in the form of exponents and powers,we use semilog graph.....
The graph of log base b(x-h)+k has the following characteristics. the line x = h is a vertical asymptote; the domain is x>h, and the range is all real numbers; if b>1, the graph moves up to the right. of 0>b>1, the the graph moves down to the right.
slope of best fit gives mean value?
-----------
The x axis is the total distance travelled, and the y axis is base pair equivalent (how many base pairs it's made of). It should be a linear graph.
