If you have an equation and want to solve for an unknown in the exponent simply take the logarithm of both sides and apply the indices/logarithms laws.
An example follows: (more…)
As discussed in graphs of exponential functions the most informative approach is to view the general form
as a set of transformations.
These transformations are summarised here in tabular form. (more…)
By comparing exponential and logarithmic functions with their simplest forms it is easy to sketch their graphs using a transformational approach.
Memorise these indices and logarithms laws. Indices and logarithms are two different ways of saying the same thing. For example:
is read as “
raised to the power of 
equals 
“.
that is:
