Outcomes

In this lesson you will

  • apply the laws of logarithms to solve more complex exponential equations
  • learn that these laws can be used to determine the equation of exponential functions of the form

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

  • demonstrate an understanding of the properties of logarithms and apply them
  • solve problems involving exponential and logarithmic equations
  • solve exponential and logarithmic equations
  • demonstrate an understanding of the relationships that exist between arithmetic operations and the operations used when solving equations
  • apply real number exponents in expressions and equations
  • model real-world phenomena using exponential functions

Prerequisites

To be successful in this lesson, it would be helpful to know the following:

  • determine the equation of exponential functions without using technology
  • understand the meaning of zero, negative and rational exponents
  • convert from logarithmic to exponential forma and vice versa
