By the end of this section students will be able to:

model real-world phenomena using exponential functions
sketch graphs from descriptions, tables, and collected data
demonstrate an intuitive understanding of the recursive nature of exponential growth
demonstrate an understanding of patterns that are arithmetic, power, and geometric, and relate them to corresponding functions
analyze tables and graphs to distinguish between linear, quadratic, and exponential relationships
describe and interpret domains and ranges using set notation
analyze and describe the characteristics of exponential and logarithmic functions
demonstrate an understanding of the role of real numbers in exponential and logarithmic expressions and equations
apply real number exponents in expressions and equations
