How do I find an exponential function's inverse?

Answer 1

Hi! Ughhh I HATE algebra, I just got done with it not to long ago for my college class. Ughhhhh,LOL

Anyway, check this link

Answer 2

The inverse function of an exponential is a logarithm. If the base of the exponential is "e" (2.718281828...), then it's a special logarithm called a "natural" logarithm.

Natural logarithms (written as "ln(x)") have these properties:

ln(e^x) = x

e^ln(x) = x

As you can see, the exponential function and natural logarithm functions 'undo' each other.

Answer 3

exponential inverse is logarithmic
