Exponential and Logarithmic Functions

Exponential and Logarithmic Functions#

exp(x)#

Exponential function.

Parameters:

x (Real) – The exponent to which \(e\) is raised.

Definition:

\(\exp(x) = e^x\)

Domain:

\((-\infty, \infty)\)

Range:

\((0, \infty)\)

Returns:

The value of \(e^x\).

Return type:

Real

exp2(x)#

Base-2 exponential function.

Parameters:

x (Real) – The exponent to which \(2\) is raised.

Definition:

\(\mathrm{exp2}(x) = 2^x\)

Domain:

\((-\infty, \infty)\)

Range:

\((0, \infty)\)

Returns:

The value of \(2^x\).

Return type:

Real

expm1(x)#

Exponential-minus-one function.

Parameters:

x (Real) – The exponent to which \(e\) is raised.

Definition:

Domain:

\((-\infty, \infty)\)

Range:

\((-1, \infty)\)

Returns:

The value of \(e^x - 1\).

Return type:

Real

log(x)#

Natural logarithm function.

Parameters:
