The document discusses exponential and logarithmic functions. Exponential functions of the form f(x) = b^x are called exponential functions in base b. Logarithmic functions log_b(y) represent the exponent x needed to raise the base b to a power to get the output y. The exponential form b^x = y and logarithmic form x = log_b(y) describe the same relationship between the base b, exponent x, and output y. Questions can be translated between these forms by rewriting the exponential expression as a logarithm or vice versa. Examples demonstrate rewriting expressions and graphing logarithmic functions.
