The logarithm function. If you specifically mean the function ex, the inverse function is the natural logarithm. However, functions with bases other than "e" might also be called exponential functions.
The main disadvantage is that there is no general analytical way of finding the logarithm of a number.
When a function is nested inside another function, the outer one is the parent, the inner is the child.
It is because the logarithm function is strictly monotonic.

Domain of the logarithm function is the positive real numbers. Domain of exponential function is the real numbers.

The inverse function of the exponential is the logarithm.
A log with a subscript typically indicates the base of the logarithm. For example, "log₃(x)" means the logarithm of x in base 3. This notation is used to specify the base of the logarithm function.
In mathematics, the logarithm function is denoted by "log". The base of the logarithm is typically specified, for example, "Log S" usually refers to the logarithm of S to a certain base (e.g., base 10 or base e).
The parent function of the exponential function is ax
That refers to the logarithm function. Since the base is not specified, the meaning is not entirely clear; it may or may not refer to the logarithm base 10.
A number for which a given logarithm stands is the result that the logarithm function yields when applied to a specific base and value. For example, in the equation log(base 2) 8 = 3, the number for which the logarithm stands is 8.
Reciprocal parent function
The main disadvantage is that there is no general analytical way of finding the logarithm of a number.
It turns out that many calculations and formulae are simpler if natural logarithms are used. To give but one example, the derivative (or slope) of the nagural logarithm function is 1/x. This means the derivative of other logarithms is more complicated.
