Slow Is Not the Same as Stopped
You'll learnto walk the anatomy of a logarithmic curve and see that it never levels off.
The log curve flattens as it climbs, and half the class concludes it levels off. It never does. Walk its anatomy: the anchor at (1, 0), the height that reads off an exponent, the vertical wall at x = 0, and the patient climb that passes any ceiling you draw, even if height 100 waits until x = 2¹⁰⁰. Twelve short steps; press Next for each one.
anchored at (1, 0) · walled at x = 0 · no ceiling
Before you start
What you're looking at
The curve y = log₂x on a set of axes, with its landmark points marked as they appear.
The question
The curve keeps flattening — does it ever stop climbing?
