log x^n = n log x, so the log-log graph is a line of slope n NB 1: (0,0) in log-log space is (1,1) in linear; (0,0) in linear is (-infty, -infty) in log-log log' x^n is n/x …so the -proportional- change in x^n as x increases -decreases- that is, the following points map to 2^n under x^n: x: 1,2,4,8,…: points gaps increase: lattice on log line x^2: 1,sq(2),2,2*sq(2),4,etc : half-way between 'em: half the above lattice (b/c grows at twice the rate in log space log' e^x is 1 (duh): grows at constant -proportional- rate (it's a line in log-linear space) ----------- 1/(1+x) ~= 1-x; division related to log' 1 = 1 ----------- NB: you can't so easily see the higher derivatives in these log space (AFAICT)
