No, an function only contains a certain amount of vertices; leaving a logarithmic function to NOT be the inverse of an exponential function.
Domain of the logarithm function is the positive real numbers. Domain of exponential function is the real numbers.
True
An exponential function can have negative y-values. However, a real-world exponential decay model will never have negative values. Think of it this way... If you divide a positive number by 2 (or take half of it) and then divide that next number by 2, you will never reach or go below 0. For Example: 20, 10, 5, 2.5, 1.25, 0.625, 0.3125, etc. (Each number is half of the number before it.)
A __________ function takes the exponential function's output and returns the exponential function's input.
That would be an exponential decay curve or negative growth curve.
The parent function of the exponential function is ax
The number of atoms that decay in a certain time is proportional to the amount of substance left. This naturally leads to the exponential function. The mathematical explanation - one that requires some basic calculus - is that the only function that is its own derivative (or proportional to its derivative) is the exponential function (or a slight variation of the exponential function).
No. The inverse of an exponential function is a logarithmic function.
Negative numbers cannot be written in exponential notation. The rules require the number to be between 1.0-9.9.

Any function of the form aebx - for non-zero a and b - is exponential. For examples, just replace "a" and "b" with any non-zero number. Equivalently, any function of the form cdx - once again, for non-zero c and d - is exponential. Here, too, you can replace c and d with any number to get examples.
