An exponential function involves a constant (base) raised to a variable power (exponent) x, t and so
on.
where a 0 , a 1 and the exsponent x is any real number is called an exponential function
with base a.
where e 2.71828... , and the exponent x is any real numbers is called an exponential
function with base e. or natural exponential function.

Build a table with several values of x, and find the corresponding values for y:
x -2 -1 0 1 2

y2
Based on the table, we got several points that resides on the graph.
Therefore, we just plot all the points and draw a curve that connects all those points.

The exponential functions describe a value that is obtained by raising a constant to the power of a
variable/unknown.
For example: y = 2x ,
When the input x = 3 , therefore the output y = 23 = 8
Alternatively, the above equation can be switch by making x as thedependant variable (output) and y as
the independant variable (input).
This equation is known as the logarithmic function.
x = log 2 y
Here, if the input y=8 therefore, output x = log 2 8 (2 to the power of what (x) equal to 8) -->
therefore; x = 3
CONCLUSION:
EXPONENT LOGARITHMIC
Can be written as
y = ax
where a > 0 and a ≠ 1
x = log a y
where a > 0 and a ≠ 1

The logarithmic function with base a, where a>0 and a ≠ 1is denoted by loga and defined by;
x = log a y
If and only if ax = y.
For example:
i) y log 2 x (if a = 2)
ii) y log5 x (if a = 5)

a) Population Growth:
Suppose that the population of a town at a certain period of time is P0 and it is
increasing at the rate of r% per year. Therefore the population of the town after t
years is given by:
P = Poert
Where P = Amount of Population after t years
Po = Initial population
r = rate of population growth
t = period of times
Contoh 21:
The projected population P t for a small town is given by:
P t 100000e0.05t
i) What is the value for t if the population is predicted for the year 2002
ii) Using your answer in (i), what is the predicted population for 2002.
