Once you understand the concepts, you will find it easier to both. Hope you find the recommended web sites useful. Good luck!
No.
Exponents can simplify very ugly math problems and their relation to logarithms makes them invaluable. FYI logarithms were invented before exponents.
common logarithms, natural logarithms, monatary calculations, etc.
logarithms. If y = ax then x = logay
To cancel out exponents, you can use the property of exponents that states if you have the same base, you can subtract the exponents. For example, in the expression (a^m \div a^n), you can simplify it to (a^{m-n}). Additionally, if you have an exponent raised to another exponent, such as ((a^m)^n), you can multiply the exponents to simplify it to (a^{m \cdot n}). If you set an expression equal to 1, you can also solve for the exponent directly by taking logarithms.

Take logarithms?
Exponents and Logarithms work well together because they "undo" each other (so long as the base "a" is the same).

There are many. There are those that deal with the four basic binary operations, then there are rules governing exponents and logarithms.

Electrical engineers use logarithms to work on signal Decay.
The basic operations are addition (+), subtraction (-), multilpication (*) and division (/). But there are many others, for example, powers and roots, trigonometric functions, exponents and logarithms.
There are different meanings depending on the context: plane shapes, 3-d shapes, exponents, logarithms, counting systems (decimal, binary etc).
