What is the relationship between exponents and logarithms

OpenStudy (ash2326):

There is a close relationship between exponential functions and logarithmic functions: each is the inverse of the other. \[This\ means\ that\ if\ y=ax\,\ then\ x=\log_a(y)\ (which\ is\ log\ to\ base\ a\ of\ y).\]

OpenStudy (ash2326):

We have \[2^2=4\] so \\[log_2 4=2\]
