f a; = 0, then 2,y = 0 .-. y = log 0 .-. 2/ = — 00. The locus, therefore, cuts the X-axis at a units distance onthe positive side, and continually approaches the Y-axis with-out ever meeting it. It is further evident that whatever bethe base of the system of logarithms, these conditions musthold… … Fig. 10. This curve is called the Logarithmic Curve, its namebeing taken from its equation. LOCI. 23 17. The preceding examples explain the method employedin constructing the locus of any equation. While it is truethat this method is at best approximate, yet it may be madesufficiently accurate for…
