Question

Poly thinks that the graphs of exponential and logarithmic functions are complete opposites.

What do you think she means by that?

Be sure to express your thoughts clearly and use correct mathematical language in your explanation.

Answer 1

Explanation:

"opposite" and "opposites" are confusing when encountered in algebra and arithmetic.

In this case, the correct description of graphs of functions and their inverses follows: the graphs are reflections of each other in the line y = x. To call these graphs "opposites" would be misleading and incorrect.
