Relationship between log and exponential functions

They are inverse functions

Line across which inverse functions reflect

y=xy = x

Three points always on graph y=logaxy = \log_a x

(1a,1)(\frac{1}{a}, -1), (1,0)(1, 0), (a,1)(a, 1)

Domain of y=logaxy = \log_a x

R+\mathbb{R}^+ (all positive real numbers)

Range of y=logaxy = \log_a x

R\mathbb{R} (all real numbers)

Vertical asymptote of basic y=logaxy = \log_a x

x=0x = 0 (the y-axis)

Behaviour of y=logaxy = \log_a x when a>1a > 1

Strictly increasing

Vertical asymptote of y=loga(mxn)y = \log_a(mx - n) where m>0m > 0

x=nmx = \frac{n}{m}

Domain of y=loga(mxn)y = \log_a(mx - n) where m>0m > 0

(nm,)(\frac{n}{m}, \infty)

Base conversion formula for logax\log_a x

logax=logbxlogba\log_a x = \frac{\log_b x}{\log_b a}
