Lesson 8: Exponential and Logarithmic Functions

The document discusses exponential and logarithmic functions. It defines exponential functions as having the form f(x) = ax, where a > 0 and a ≠ 1. Logarithmic functions are defined as the inverses of exponential functions, where y = logax is equivalent to x = ay. The document provides multiple links to video tutorials explaining how to graph exponential functions, solve exponential functions without logs, use properties of logs to simplify expressions, and solve log and exponential equations.

What are Exponential Functions?

In addition to linear, quadratic, rational, and radical


functions, there are exponential functions. Exponential
functions have the form f(x) = ax, where a > 0 and a ≠ 1.
Just as in any exponential expression, a is called the base
and x is called the exponent.

Logarithmic Functions
Logarithmic Functions
Logarithmic functions are the inverses of exponential
functions. The inverse of the exponential function y = ax
is x = ay.
The logarithmic function y = logax is defined to be
equivalent to the exponential equation x = ay. y = logax
only under the following conditions: x = ay, a > 0, and
a≠1. It is called the logarithmic function with base a.
