Before you get started, take this readiness quiz. Solve: x2=16. In the section on logarithmic functions, we solved some equations by rewriting the equation in exponential form. Now that we have the ...
Exponential and logarithmic functions are mathematical concepts with wide-ranging applications. Exponential functions are commonly used to model phenomena such as population growth, the spread of ...
Data from an experiment may result in a graph indicating exponential growth. This implies the formula of this growth is \(y = k{x^n}\), where \(k\) and \(n\) are constants. Using logarithms, we can ...
The power supply of a space satellite is by means of a radioisotope. The power output, in watts, is given by \({w_t} = {w_o}{e^{kt}}\) where \(t\) is the time in days. The power output at launch is 60 ...
Graphs of exponential functions and logarithmic functions provide a visual insight into their properties, such as growth, decay, and the inverse relationship between them. Graphs of exponential ...
