12: Exponential and Logarithmic Functions

( \newcommand{\kernel}{\mathrm{null}\,}\)

Learning Objectives

By the end of this chapter, the student should be able to

  • Find the inverse of a function (both equation and graph)
  • Apply the properties of logarithms
  • Solve exponential and logarithmic equations
  • Graph exponential and logarithmic functions
  • Determine the domain of exponential and logarithmic functions
  • Solve applications using exponential and logarithmic functions

As our study of algebra advances, we begin to study more complex functions. One pair of functions that have a distinct relationship with each other is exponential and logarithmic functions. First, we take a look at a special relationship between certain functions, then move into exponential and logarithmic functions.
