OpenStudy (alexandervonhumboldt2):

do you mean \[\Huge\bf b^y=x ~~~=>~~ \log_b{x} \]

OpenStudy (racelynn):

Like how in words how are they related to each other?

OpenStudy (vheah):

A logarithmic function is an inverse of an exponential function.

OpenStudy (alexandervonhumboldt2):

=] yeah

OpenStudy (anonymous):

they both have to do with math

OpenStudy (vheah):

^ Lol

OpenStudy (vheah):

If you graph a log and an exponential function together you'll find that both of them will go on the same directions altering with the domain and range switched for the inverse fun

OpenStudy (vheah):

function*. Like i said, A logarithmic function is an inverse of an exponential function and vice versa.

OpenStudy (vheah):

my bad, both of them will go on different directions* I apologize.

OpenStudy (tkhunny):
