Logarithmic and exponential functions

What this topic asks you to be able to do

  • Understand how logarithmic functions and exponential functions are connected.
  • Know the basic properties and graph shapes of exponential and logarithmic functions, including ex and ln x, and use them.
  • Understand that the functions f(x) = ex and g(x) = ln x are inverses of one another.
  • Understand how the graphs of exponential and logarithmic functions approach their asymptotes.
  • Give the equations of whichever asymptotes exist.
