## Index laws
-$a^m \times a^n = a^{m+n}$
-$a^m \div a^n = a^{m-n}4$
-$(a^m)^n = a^{_mn}$
-$(ab)^m = a^m b^m$
-${({a \over b})}^m = {a^m \over b^m}$
+\begin{equation*}\begin{split}
+ a^m \times a^n & = a^{m+n} \\
+ a^m \div a^n & = a^{m-n} \\

+\begin{equation*}\begin{split}
+ \log_a(mn) & = \log_am + \log_an \\
+ \log_a({m \over n}) & = \log_am - \log_a \\

+## Inverse functions
+
+For $f: \mathbb{R} \rightarrow \mathbb{R}, f(x)=a^x$, inverse is:
+
+$$f^{-1}: \mathbb{R}^+ \rightarrow \mathbb{R}, f^{-1}=\log_ax$$
+
+## Exponentials
+
+$$e^x \quad \text{natural exponential function}$$
+
+$$e= \lim_{n \rightarrow \infty} (1 + {1 \over n})^n$$
+
+## Modelling
+
+$$A = A_0 e^{kt}$$
+
+- $A_0$ is initial value
+- $t$ is time taken
+- $k$ is a constant
+- For continuous growth, $k > 0$
+- For continuous decay, $k < 0$

+## Graphing exponential functions

+## Graphing logarithmic functions
+
+$\log_e x$ is the inverse of $e^x$ (reflection across $y=x$)

+$$f(x)=A \log_a k(x-b) + c$$
