Properties of Exponential and Logarithmic Functions

This lesson focuses on graphing natural log and exponential functions with base e. It explains how to graph e^x - 2 + 3 by setting the exponent to zero and one, finding x and y values, and identifying the horizontal asymptote. The lesson also covers graphing ln(x - 1) + 2 by setting the inside part to zero, one, and e, finding x and y values, and identifying the vertical asymptote. The techniques for graphing regular log and exponential functions are applicable to natural log and e-based functions.
