This unit is rich in theory and application.
Basic exponential functions are reviewed with the method of common bases introduced as their primary algebraic tool.
Exponential modeling of increasing and decreasing phenomena are extensively explored in two lessons. Logarithms are
introduced as the inverses of exponential functions. Special care is taken to develop good number sense concerning logarithms
before standard work is done with logarithm laws. Equation work with logarithms emphasizes both solving equations that
involve logarithms as well as solving exponential equations with logarithms. The number e and the natural log are briefly
introduced with the unit ending by revisiting regression in its exponential and logarithmic forms.
