As a chemist, coroner, microbiologist, computer programmer, or engineer, you will likely use exponential and logarithmic functions in your job for a variety of reasons.

In this course, you have learned that the square root function and the squaring function are inverses of one another. This means that the equation$$is the same as the equation$.$

Respond to the following:

Make a similar comparison between exponential and logarithmic functions by first considering the equation$$where b is some positive constant not equal to $1.$

Then find an application of an exponential or logarithmic function.$$
