We will conclude that:
- The domain of the exponential function is equal to the range of the logarithmic function.
- The domain of the logarithmic function is equal to the range of the exponential function.
<h3>Comparing the domains and ranges.</h3>
Let's study the two functions.
The exponential function is given by:
f(x) = A*e^x
You can input any value of x in that function, so the domain is the set of all real numbers. And the value of x can't change the sign of the function, so, for example, if A is positive, the range will be:
y > 0.
For the logarithmic function we have:
g(x) = A*ln(x).
As you may know, only positive values can be used as arguments for the logarithmic function, while we know that:
So the range of the logarithmic function is the set of all real numbers.
<h3>So what we can conclude?</h3>- The domain of the exponential function is equal to the range of the logarithmic function.
- The domain of the logarithmic function is equal to the range of the exponential function.
