Grade 12, College PreparationSample problem: Why is it possible todetermine log10(100) but not log10(0) orlog10(– 100)? Explain your reasoning.2.4 determine, with technology, the approximatelogarithm of a number to any base, includingbase 10 [e.g., by recognizing that log10(0.372)can be determined using the LOG key ona calculator; by reasoning that log329 isbetween 3 and 4 and using systematic trial todetermine that log 29 is approximately 3.07]32.5 make connections between related logarithmicand exponential equations (e.g., log5125 = 33can also be expressed as 5 = 125), and solvesimple exponential equations by rewritingxthem in logarithmic form (e.g., solving 3 = 10by rewriting the equation as log310 = x)2.6 pose problems based on real-world applicationsthat can be modelled with given exponentialequations, and solve these and othersuch problems algebraically by rewritingthem in logarithmic formSample problem: When a potato whose temperatureis 20°C is placed in an oven maintainedat 200°C, the relationship between thecore temperature of the potato T, in degreesCelsius, and the cooking time t, in minutes, istmodelled by the equation 200 – T = 180(0.96) .Use logarithms to determine the time whenthe potato’s core temperature reaches 160°C.THE ONTARIO CURRICULUM, GRADES 11 AND 12 | <strong>Mathematics</strong>126
