Currently, I'm trying to understand the concept of logarithmic functions. Will be grateful for your help and explanation. Thank you!

1.Without graphing, which of the following functions increases at a faster rate? Explain why.

a) y = log (x)

b) y = ln (x)

2.List the similarities and differences in the 2 functions below in terms of the x-intercept(s), the y-intercepts, domain, range, base, equation of the asymptote and end behaviour for the following:

a) y=2log(x)

b) y=34ln(x)
