Take Note:
Graph the common logarithmic function
On the same plane, graph the inverse of that function, the exponential function
Graph the linear function
Zoom and pan your graph to establish an appropriate viewing window.
Capture a screenshot of your graph and upload or paste it onto the Formative canvas.
Note that the graphs of the common logarithmic function and the inverse exponential function are reflexive across the diagonal line. Recall that this is a simple visual test to confirm that functions are inverses.
