In this unit, students extend their knowledge of exponential functions from Algebra 1 to include real number powers. Properties and graphs, including transformed graphs, of exponential functions are studied. The number e is explored as the natural base of exponential functions. Applications include exponential growth and decay, as well as modeling of exponential functions from data. Logarithmic functions are introduced as inverses of exponential functions. The properties and graphs of logarithmic functions are studied, including transformed graphs. Students solve exponential and logarithmic equations by equating bases and by using the inverse relationship between logarithms and exponents.
