Converting Exponential to Logarithm { Properties of Logarithms Change of base formula Use to “Evaluate” a log
How to Find a Horizontal Asymptote of an Exponential Function: If the exponential function is y = abx then the horizontal asymptote of the given exponential function is y = 0 If the exponential function is y = abx + c then the horizontal asymptote of the exponential function is y = c If the exponential function is y = abx - c then the horizontal asymptote of the exponential function is y = -c
