Exponential relationship!
fundamental difference between a polynomial function and an exponential function?
"The" exponential function is ex. A more general exponential function is any function of the form AeBx, for any non-xero constants "A" and "B". Alternately, Any function of the form CDx (for constants "C" and "D") would also be considered an exponential function. You can change from one form to the other.
The exponential function, in the case of the natural exponential is f(x) = ex, where e is approximately 2.71828. The logarithmic function is the inverse of the exponential function. If we're talking about the natural logarithm (LN), then y = LN(x), is the same as sayinig x = ey.
A __________ function takes the exponential function's output and returns the exponential function's input.
The parent function of the exponential function is ax
No. The inverse of an exponential function is a logarithmic function.

If the question is, Is y = x4 an exponential function ? then the answer is no.An exponential function is one where the variable appears as an exponent.So, y = 4x is an exponential function.
If y is an exponential function of x then x is a logarithmic function of y - so to change from an exponential function to a logarithmic function, change the subject of the function from one variable to the other.
For an exponential function: General equation of exponential decay is A(t)=A0e^-at The definition of a half-life is A(t)/A0=0.5, therefore: 0.5 = e^-at ln(0.5)=-at t= -ln(0.5)/a For exponential growth: A(t)=A0e^at Find out an expression to relate A(t) and A0 and you solve as above

No, an function only contains a certain amount of vertices; leaving a logarithmic function to NOT be the inverse of an exponential function.
