HOW DO WE SOLVE FOR X?
There is a mathematical way to present or rewrite the
expressions, and that is through logarithms, the inverse process
of exponentiation.

Yes, exponential and logarithmic functions are inverse


functions.
DEFINITION
EXAMPLE
Common Logarithms are logarithms with base 10. This
means that is a short notation for .

Logarithms with base are called natural logarithms,


and are denoted by “In other words, is another way of
writing .
