      Exponential and Logarithmic Functions

      Exponential functions are inverses of logarithmic functions — and vice versa. Working with exponential and logarithmic functions requires facility with the correspondence and interrelationship between them. The base of an exponential function must be positive; many mathematicians also exclude the number 1 from being a base. A logarithmic function can have any positive base except the number 1, and the argument (input value) of a logarithmic function must also be positive.

The Problems You’ll Work On

      In this chapter, you’ll work with exponential and logarithmic functions in the following ways:
