y = 3 x represents an exponential function where the base 3 is raised to the power of x. This yields a set of points. y = log 3 ( x ) is the inverse of the exponential function, which represents a logarithmic function. It undoes the exponential operation because it finds the exponent which is x that would produce the given value which is y when 3 is raised to that power. rewrite this in simple words
