Students started this unit by learning about logarithms. They learned how to rewrite logarithms using exponents, as well as how to evaluate logarithms. Next, students looked at what happened when they added and subtracted logarithms. They looked at patterns at what happened in these problems and were able to establish logarithmic properties. Using their understanding of the relationship between exponents and logarithms, as well as logarithmic properties, students then worked on solving exponential and logarithmic equations. Finally, students are using what they have learned about exponential and logarithmic equations, as well as their understanding of solving linear equations, to write the equation of an exponential or logarithmic function that goes through two given points.
