Mastering Exponential & Logarithmic Limits, Study notes of Mathematics

If you’re moving past basic algebra and hitting a wall with transcendental functions, these notes are for you. This guide breaks down exactly how to handle Exponential (b^x) and Logarithmic (\log_b x) functions without the headache. I’ve laid everything out using a three-step method—starting with easy-to-follow tables, moving into visual graphs, and finishing with the actual algebraic theorems you’ll need for your exam. It covers everything from basic limit evaluation to the trickier Logarithmic Function Theorem and what happens when your limits start hitting infinity. These notes are basically a "cheat sheet" for identifying function behavior and getting those non-algebraic calculations right every time.
