The domain of all logarithmic functions is [1,∞). [5.3]
The range of a one-to-one function f is the domain of its inverse f−1. [5.1]
The y-intercept of f(x)=e−x is (0, −1). [5.2]
For each function, determine whether it is one-to-one, and if the function is one-to-one, find a formula for its inverse. [5.1]
