Enduring Understandings
- There exist numerous nonlinear functions that model real world situations.
- Students develop skills to solve real world problems modeled by exponential and logarithmic functions.
- All exponential and logarithmic functions are transformations of a base function.
- Logarithms allow us to solve for exponential equations in which the variable is in the exponent.
- Logarithms have an inverse relationship with exponents.
