What is the definition of an exponential function?

Back

An exponential function is a mathematical function of the form f(x) = a * b^x, where a is a constant, b is the base, and x is the exponent.

Front

What is the change of base formula for logarithms?

Back

The change of base formula states that log_b(a) = log_k(a) / log_k(b) for any positive k.

Front

What is the relationship between exponential and logarithmic functions?

Back

Exponential functions and logarithmic functions are inverses of each other. If y = b^x, then x = log_b(y).
