Why is x squared a inverse function?
X squared is not an inverse function; it is a quadratic function.
What do you call the inverse function of the exponential function?
Logarithmic Function
Is quadratic sequence exponential function?
No. It is a sequence for which the rule is a quadratic expression.
When can a quadratic function have an inverse?
It depends on the domain and codomain. In complex numbers, that is, when the domain and codomain are both C, every quadratic always has an inverse.If the range of the quadratic in the form ax2 + bx + c = 0 is the set of real numbers, R, then the function has an inverse if(a) b2 - 4ac ≥ 0and(b) the range of the inverse is defined as x ≥ 0 or x ≤ 0
A logarithmic function is the same as an exponential function?
Apex: false A logarithmic function is not the same as an exponential function, but they are closely related. Logarithmic functions are the inverses of their respective exponential functions. For the function y=ln(x), its inverse is x=ey For the function y=log3(x), its inverse is x=3y For the function y=4x, its inverse is x=log4(y) For the function y=ln(x-2), its inverse is x=ey+2 By using the properties of logarithms, especially the fact that a number raised to a logarithm of base itself equals the argument of the logarithm: aloga(b)=b you can see that an exponential function with x as the independent variable of the form y=f(x) can be transformed into a function with y as the independent variable, x=f(y), by making it a logarithmic function. For a generalization: y=ax transforms to x=loga(y) and vice-versa Graphically, the logarithmic function is the corresponding exponential function reflected by the line y = x.
