Section outline

  • Description of Unit:  This topic expands students’ understandings and skills related to exponential and logarithmic functions.  Students will model situations with exponential functions, use exponents to solve logarithmic equations and logarithms to solve exponential equations, show that exponents and logarithms are inverse functions, and graph exponential and logarithmic functions

    Key Vocabulary: asymptote, Change of Base Formula, common logarithms, continuously compounded interest, decay factor, exponential decay, exponential equation, exponential function, growth factor, logarithm, logarithmic equation, logarithmic function, logarithmic scale, natural base exponential functions, and natural logarithmic function.
