This unit bundles student expectations that investigate and explore the characteristics of exponential functions, including limitations on domain and range, asymptotes, end behavior, effects of parameter changes on the parent function, and various representations. Exponential functions, equations, and inequalities are applied to represent and solve problem situations. Exploring laws of exponents by recognizing the multiplicative patterns and applying properties of exponents to simplify expressions are also addressed.
Students will learn what exponents such as 1/2, 1/3, 1/4, ...mean.
Students will learn what exponents such as 2/3, 3/4, 5/2,... mean.
Students will learn how to solve Exponential equations.
