49. To graph these functions, we use log 15 =
ln
ln15
and log 50 =
ln
ln50 .
These graphs all approach −∞ as → 0 + , and they all pass through the
point (10). Also, they are all increasing, and all approach ∞ as → ∞.
The functions with larger bases increase extremely slowly, and the ones with
smaller bases do so somewhat more quickly. The functions with large bases
approach the axis more closely as → 0 + .
50. We see that the graph of ln is the reflection of the graph of about the
line = , and that the graph of log 8 is the reflection of the graph of 8
about the same line. The graph of 8 increases more quickly than that of .
Also note that log 8 → ∞ as → ∞ more slowly than ln.
51. 3 ft = 36 in, so we need such that log 2 = 36 ⇔ = 2 36 = 68,719,476,736. In miles, this is

From the graphs, we see that () = 01 () = ln for approximately 0 306, and then () () for
306 343 × 10 15 (approximately). At that point, the graph of finally surpasses the graph of for good.
53. (a) Shift the graph of = log 10 five units to the left to
obtain the graph of = log 10 (+5). Note the vertical
asymptote of = −5.
= log 10 = log 10 ( + 5)
(b) Reflect the graph of = ln about the axis to obtain
the graph of = −ln.
= ln = −ln

54. (a) Reflect the graph of = ln about the axis to obtain
the graph of = ln(−).
= ln = ln(−)
(b) Reflect the portion of the graph of = ln to the right
of the axis about the axis. The graph of = ln||
is that reflection in addition to the original portion.
