Exponential and Logarithmic Functions Explained

The document discusses the limits of exponential and logarithmic functions. Exponential functions have the form f(x) = b^x where b > 0 and b ≠ 1, and their limits depend on whether b is greater than or less than 1. Logarithmic functions have the form f(x) = logbx, and their limits also depend on whether b is greater than or less than 1. The graphs of exponential and logarithmic functions illustrate the behavior of these limits.

Exponential b > 0 and b ≠ 1. With this, general


Functions behaviors of the limits in an exponential
function can be seen on the graphs based
on its base b.

It is a function whose form is f(x) = logbx,


where b > 0 and b ≠ 1. In the graphs below,
we can see a generic behavior of the limits Logarithmic
