    Now its my turn to come across evil logarithms....-pirate
    was wondering if some1 could help with this...o_O

    1) sketch the graph : y = logax

    Note: the a is log base a

    b) is it possible for the gradient of this graph to be the same as the y value for all the values plotted?


    thanks in advance. ;)

    You can't really sketch it, you have to make a table of values with a few key points and then draw the rest. So just re-arrange it to exponential form, a^y=x and sub points in.
