    Study Notes

    Inverse Function of Exponentiation

    • The inverse function of exponentiation is the logarithmic function.

    Logarithmic Function

    • The base of the natural logarithm is 'e', approximately 2.718.
    • In the logarithmic function y = logₐ(x), 'a' represents the base of the logarithm.

    Domain of Logarithmic Function

    • The domain of the logarithmic function y = logₐ(x) is all positive real numbers.

    Relationship between 'a' and the Base of the Natural Logarithm

    • There is no specific relationship between 'a' and the base of the natural logarithm, as 'a' can be any positive real number except 1.

    Graph of Logarithmic Function

    • When 'a' is greater than 1, the graph of y = logₐ(x) opens upwards, and the function is increasing.
    • When 'a' is between 0 and 1, the graph of y = logₐ(x) opens downwards, and the function is decreasing.
