This assignment serves as an opportunity to assess your ability to identify exponential and logarithmic functions. Among the various functions you've studied, exponential and logarithmic functions hold particular significance when it comes to representing practical situations marked by non-linear and rapid changes. Recognizing logarithms as the inverse of exponential functions will enable you to solve equations involving exponential functions using logarithmic properties.

Within this assignment, you will delve into the properties of logarithms and acquire the skill to express scenarios using either exponential or logarithmic functions.

You are required to complete all the 3 tasks in this assignment,answer the following questions, and show stepwise calculations. When you are instructed to make a graph in this assignment, please useGeoGebra graphing toolfor drawing the graphs.

Task 1.

Please answer the following questions related to exponential and logarithmic functions:

(i)What are exponential and logarithmic functions? How are they related? What are their key factors (Explain the variables used in the definitions of these functions)? Discuss their domain and range.

(ii) What is the difference between exponential, logarithmic, and power functions? Provide one mathematical example for each and illustrate the differences of growth patterns and any special points (such as asymptotes, intercepts, and zeros), if applicable. Graph the examples.

(iii)How to explain if a function has exponential growth?

(iv)Between exponential and logarithmic functions, which one grows faster? Provide an explanation for your answer.

(v) Write the observations of growth patterns and special points (if any) by drawing the graphs for the examples given

Task 2.Before working on task 2, please read the following reading:?

Reading section?4.4- MFG Properties of Logarithms (yoshiwarabooks.org)???of the following textbook will help you understand the concepts better.
