algebra I review guide exponential functions

Our test is next thursday 2/ 23/17, on exponential functions (hopefully you knew that already)

There should be 9-10 questions


1 on rules of exponents
1 on simplifying radicals
1 graphing an exponential functions
1 "which one doesn't belong"- be prepared to use grade level appropriate math vocab
1 writing an exponential equation from a table
2 growth/ decay applications
1 scientific notation application
1 pythagorean problem where you will be expected to put your answer in simplified radical form



If you are using the book to study, here are some places to go to:

p. 529 #3,4  don't have to do all of them
p. 536 #12
p. 539 #6
p. 555 #6
p. 577 #12, 13
p. 588 #9


I couldn't find a Pythagorean problem in the book but you can look it up on google or youtube or even ask a teacher if you need help with it!

Friday 2/17/17

9-10 questions on this one from logs/ exponential unit.


1 graphing a log or exponential function
1 on domain and range
6 solving equations   either log or exponential
2 applications on models
1 extra credit!


I did post some video links about 10 or so posts earlier so check those out if you need assistance.

Here are some problems in the book you can look at (though there are some solving equations from the Holt book, which we did already).

p. 300 #15, 21, 22
p. 315 #43, 59, 60

p. 346 #19, 32

wednesday 2/15

alg II -  Very easy day; we looked at solving an exponential using a log and then spent the rest of class working on the computers.  We used the desmos graphing calc. and also a desmos activity- both of these should help people taking the common core test next month (juniors).  Hw is to review for next week's test.



alg I -    If you didn't take the quiz, you made it up today;   Others worked on computers with www.desmos.com.  We worked on the graphing calc, avi and benita exponential vs linear activity and the marble slides with exponential functions.  No hw.

tuesday 2/14/17

alg II -   We didn't have time for the writing task yesterday so we did it today.  Then we worked in groups on p. 552 in the Holt book.  Good log applications to get us ready for the perf task on Friday.



alg I -  After the quiz on square roots, we reviewed yesterday's work and embellished on the notes, too.  Lastly, we worked in groups on p. 751 in the Holt book.


 

monday 2/13/17

alg II -  Started class with #39 on p. 348 in text.  Progressed to a writing prompt and took some notes for 6-7 on regression.  Hw is p. 346 # 3, 4, 7, 8, 15, 16, 19


alg I -  We reviewed graphing and exponents and then compared linear vs exponential models.  Hw is the handout that compares those models.

Friday 2/10/17

alg II -  We were in groups today doing a lot of applications with logs and exponential functions.  We did many problems from other books (the decay model of speed and the decay model of farms.  Then we did more log regression work with our calculators using the text we did the astronaut problem in 6-7.



alg I -    We spent the first 10 minutes finishing the work from Thursday, then we turned in the week's work.  Mr Russell did his famous 4 corners on sci not and exponential functions.  We wrapped in up with whiteboards and a raffle.

Thursday 2/9/17
