+# Exponential and Index Functions
## Index laws
## Logarithms
$$\log_b (x) = n \quad \operatorname{where} \hspace{0.5em} b^n=x$$
+
+## Using logs to solve index eq's
+
+Used for equations without common base exponent
+
+Or change base:
+$$\log_b c = {{\log_a c} \over {\log_a b}}$$
+
+If $a<1, \quad \log_{b} a < 0$ (flip inequality operator)
+
+## Exponential functions
+
+$e^x$ - natural exponential function
+
+
+$$\lim_{h \rightarrow 0} {{e^h-1} \over h}=1$$
+
+## Logarithm laws
+
+$\log_a(mn) = \log_am + \log_an$
+$\log_a({m \over n}) = \log_am - \log_an$
+$\log_a(m^p) = p\log_am$
+$\log_a(m^{-1}) = -\log_am$
+$\log_a1 = 0$ and $\log_aa = 1$
+
+## Inverse functions
+
+Inverse of $f: \mathbb{R} \rightarrow \mathbb{R}, f(x)=a^x$ is $f^{-1}: \mathbb{R}^+ \rightarrow \mathbb{R}, f^{-1}=log_ax$
+
+## Euler's number
+
+$$e= \lim_{n \rightarrow \infty} (1 + {1 \over n})^n$$
