In fact, the integral turns out to be a log function, which we call the natural log
function. This has the base e (≈ 2.718) . On your calculator the natural log is
denoted by lnx.
The graph of lnx has the characteristic shape of all log functions:

The graphs of inverse functions are the reflections of each other in the line
y = x, so the graph of y = ex must look like this:
y=x
y = ex
y = Inx

To solve an equation with ex, first combine all the e functions into a single e
function on one side of the equation, then ‘take ln’ of both sides.
