Topic 2.13: Exponential and Logarithmic Equations and Inequalities

Learning Objective: 2.13.A

Solve exponential and logarithmic equations and inequalities.

Essential Knowledge: 2.13.A.1

Properties of exponents, properties of logarithms, and the inverse relationship between exponential and logarithmic functions can be used to solve equations and inequalities involving exponents and logarithms.

Essential Knowledge: 2.13.A.2

When solving exponential and logarithmic equations found through analytical or graphical methods, the results should be examined for extraneous solutions precluded by the mathematical or contextual limitations.

Essential Knowledge: 2.13.A.3

Logarithms can be used to rewrite expressions involving exponential functions in different ways that may reveal helpful information. Specifically, bx=c(log⁡cb)(x)b^x = c^{(\log_c b)(x)}.

Learning Objective: 2.13.B

Construct the inverse function for exponential and logarithmic functions.

Essential Knowledge: 2.13.B.1

The function f(x)=ab(x+h)+kf(x)=ab^{(x+h)}+k is a combination of additive transformations of an exponential function in general form. The inverse of y=f(x)y=f(x) can be found by determining the inverse operations to reverse the mapping.

Essential Knowledge: 2.13.B.2

The function f(x)=alog⁡b(x+h)+kf(x)=a\log_b(x+h)+k is a combination of additive transformations of a logarithmic function in general form. The inverse of y=f(x)y=f(x) can be found by determining the inverse operations to reverse the mapping.
