I. Concept/Digest
A logarithmic function is the inverse of an exponential function. An inverse means we solve
the equation for x.

II. EXAMPLE
y
The inverse of y = 2x (is x = 2 (x equals 2 to the y power). This, in turn, is equal to y = log 2 x
(logarithm to the base 2 of x).
Express the following into logarithmic form
1. 24=16 log216=4

2. 3 =27 log327=3
Express the following into exponential form
1. log416=2 42=16
