THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK
EXPONENTIAL FUNCTION
Exponential functions are one of the most important families of functions in the
mathematics due to the large number of applications they have.
The exponential function is of the form y=ax, where a is a positive real number.
The exponential function ex can be defined in several equivalent ways,
as an infinite series. In particular, it can be defined as a power series: or
like the limit of the sequence:
PROPERTIES
1.-When the base is b >0 or different from one; The graphs must be continuous and intersect.
at the point (0,1)
2.- When there are two identical or different unknowns that are different from one and real
they contain properties that can be resolved or synthesized.
LOGARITHMIC FUNCTION
Logarithmic Function The function that is the inverse of the exponential f(x) = b x is the function
logarithmic. We introduce the vocabulary and notation that allows us to write this
abbreviated concept. y = b x logb y = x Definition: Then logb y represents
The exponent x to raise the base b and obtain the power y. Power base exponent.

CONCLUSIONES
To know perfectly the exponential and logarithmic function as during the course of
In the semester, we will see these functions and it is worth being prepared for these topics.
The exponential function has a great use in life; taking an example, one could say
which has a great reception in the Business Administration degree for interest
compound, annuities, and savings plans among others.
It is also worth noting that the logarithmic function is the opposite of the exponential function.
In the field of the faculty of sciences, the applications are countless including
growth models in biology.
The logarithmic and exponential functions are also included in the Engineering curriculum.
Mechanics since it is one of the topics covered in the first semester.
It is important for anyone studying Algebra, whether as an abstract discipline
or as an instrument in other scientific domains, but it should be taken very into
Count these topics.
In the field of biology, it is very important, basically in pharmaceuticals, to determine
the type of action of a medication in the bloodstream.
Its importance of the exponential function lies in the fact that many situations are governed
by norms where this function appears. For example, population growth (grows
or decreases exponentially).
