If x and y are The inverse of

interchanged in exponential function is


𝑦 = 𝑎 𝑥 ,we shall have called
𝑥 = 𝑎 𝑦 , which is the
inverse of 𝑦 = 𝑎 𝑥 and LOGARITHMIC
is identical to FUNCTION.
𝑦 = 𝑙𝑜𝑔𝑎 𝑥 .
In 2𝑦 = 𝑥 the exponent y of 2 can be expressed
as 𝑦 = 𝑙𝑜𝑔2 𝑥

(read as “y equals the logarithm of x to the base 2”).
