INVERSE(RAPHAEL)

INVERSE //**A log is an exponent because the log function is the inverse of the exponential function. The inverse function undoes the effect of the original function. **// The inverse of a logarithmic function is an exponential function. When you graph both the logarithmic function and its inverse, and you also graph the line y = x (reflecting line), you will see that the graphs of the logarithmic function and the exponential function are mirror images of one another. If you were to fold the graph along the line y = x and hold the paper up to a light, you would note that the two graphs reflect on one another.



**Example 2:** Graphs for the Inverse of a Logarithmic Equation



**Notice how in these graphs above, the inverse of the equation y=2^x reflects perfectly over the line y=x and the new equation for the inverse is y=log2x**
