-## Index laws
-
-$a^m \times a^n = a^{m+n}$
-$a^m \div a^n = a^{m-n}4$
-$(a^m)^n = a^{_mn}$
-$(ab)^m = a^m b^m$
-${({a \over b})}^m = {a^m \over b^m}$
-
-## Fractional indices
-
-$^n\sqrt{x}=x^{1/n}$
-
-## 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)

## 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 $f^{-1}: \mathbb{R}^+ \rightarrow \mathbb{R}, f^{-1}=log_ax$
+For $f: \mathbb{R} \rightarrow \mathbb{R}, f(x)=a^x$, inverse is:
-## Euler's number
+$$f^{-1}: \mathbb{R}^+ \rightarrow \mathbb{R}, f^{-1}=\log_ax$$
-$$e= \lim_{n \rightarrow \infty} (1 + {1 \over n})^n$$
+## Exponentials
-## Literal equations
+$$e^x \quad \text{natural exponential function}$$
-_Literal equation_ - no numerical solutions
+$$e= \lim_{n \rightarrow \infty} (1 + {1 \over n})^n$$
-## Exponential and logarithmic modelling
+## Modelling

-$A_0$ is initial value
