An inverse of a function is found by swapping the x and y variables. For example: the straight line function y = 2x, has an inverse of x = 2y. This can be rearranged into y = x/2.
Now take the function y = ex. The inverse is: x = ey. Unfortunately, there is no easy way to rearrange this to be y = {something}. So the logarithm function was created to handle this, and now the function {x = ey} can be written as y = ln(x).

Logarithmic functions are converted to become exponential functions because both are inverses of one another.
you should include the definition of logarithms how to solve logarithmic equations how they are used in applications of math and everyday life how to graph logarithms explain how logarithms are the inverses of exponential how to graph exponentials importance of exponential functions(growth and decay ex.) pandemics, population)
