Exponential function: f%28x%29=2%5Ex

Logarithmic function: g%28x%29=log%282%2C%28x%29%29 note: I used the property b%5Ex=y <====> log%28b%2C%28y%29%29=x

Graph of the exponential function f%28x%29=2%5Ex (red) and the logarithmic function g%28x%29=log%282%2C%28x%29%29 (green)


+graph%28+500%2C+500%2C+-10%2C+10%2C+-10%2C+10%2C+2%5Ex%2C+log%282%2C%28x%29%29%29+


Notice how the logarithmic function is simply a reflection of the exponential function over the line y=x
