logarithmic functions by algebraic and
graphical approaches.
b) state the domain and range of an
exponential and logarithmic functions.
c) find the composite functions involving
exponential and logarithmic functions.
d) sketch the graph which involve exponential
and logarithmic functions on the same axes.
