Do all exponential functions have inverses?
Thus, the domain of the logarithm base function is the range of the function (all positive numbers) and the range of the logarithm base function is the domain of the function (all numbers). since the logarithmic function and the exponential function are inverses of each other. for any base , since for all .
Do exponential functions have inverses over any interval?
Part 1. Exponential Functions
Consequently, we have a horizontal asymptote at the line y=0. Definition: the line y=c is a horizontal asymptote if as x→±∞,f(x)→c. The above properties of increasing and decreasing show that exponential functions are 1−1, and therefore have inverses (which will be discussed in Part 2).
