The properties of logarithms are as follows: 1. = + 2. ln � � = ln − 3. = . 4. = 5. = 1 6. 1 = 0 Relationship between Logarithm and Exponential Functions The relation between log and exponential functions can be explained by looking at their graphs:

The log function is given by ( ) = ln and the exponential function is given by ( ) = . It should be noted that the logarithm function is the reflection of the exponential function over the line = . Hence, logarithm function is the inverse of exponential function.
