An exponential function and a logarithmic function are basically the same thing - just written in different ways. If you have an exponential relationship a = bc, this can be rewritten as logb(a) = c.

Similarly, y = 8x can be written as log8(y) = x. If you graph these, they will look exactly the same, since they are the same equation ...
