Exponential
& Logarithmic Functions
Another set of
graphs that we will examine closely is that of the exponential and logarithmic
functions. The exponential and logarithmic curves are simple to sketch, and here
we introduce their properties as well as examine the manipulation of such
graphs. The relationship between the two functions and its graphical
representation is also discussed.
Exponential
functions are commonly seen in the real world, thus its curves is commonly
applied, mainly in calculations requiring exponential functions. Logarithmic
functions are less common, with uses such as the pH and Richter scale, but the
application of its graphs are similar.
In this section, we
assume knowledge of the manipulation of exponential and logarithmic functions
algebraically. This can be read up in our relevant articles in our section on
algebra, Indices, Surds and Logarithms.
Go forth, and learn
more.
Most of the
sketch graphs in this section are the drawings of our coach, Mr. Lim P. K.. Used
