Rational Function is one that can be written as a polynomial divided by a polynomial. Since polynomials
are defined everywhere, the domain of a rational function is the set of all numbers except the zeros of the
denominator. Example 1. f(x) = x / (x - 3).

In mathematics, the inverse function of a function f (also called the inverse of f) is a function that undoes the
operation of f. The inverse of f exists if and only if f is bijective, and if it exists, is denoted by. A function f and its
inverse f −1. Because f maps a to 3, the inverse f −1 maps 3 back to a.

An exponential function is a Mathematical function in the form f (x) = ax, where “x” is a variable and “a” is a
constant which is called the base of the function and it should be greater than 0. The most commonly used
exponential function base is the transcendental number e, which is approximately equal to 2.71828

What is the logarithmic function?

In mathematics, the logarithm is the inverse function to exponentiation. That means that the logarithm of a
number x to the base b is the exponent to which b must be raised to produce x. For example, since 1000 = 103,
the logarithm base 10 of 1000 is 3, or log10 (1000) = 3.
