Exponents & Logs: Graphing Functions 405

This lesson is part of the series: Exponents & Logarithms, Pre Calculus

This 64 minute exponents & logarithms lesson studies the graphs of the exponential function and the inverse of the exponential function, which is the logarithm:

This lesson will show you how to:
- graph exponential functions and summarize the characteristics of the graphs
- find the inverse of the exponential function
- graph logarithmic functions and summarize the characteristics of the graphs
- understand the x and y intercepts, an asymptote, domain & range, growth and decay functions, and the reflection property

Sample question: Given the exponential function y = 2^x, write its inverse in exponential form On the same grid, draw the graphs of y = 2^x and its inverse x = 2^y. Show the line of reflection y = x

This lesson contains explanations of the concepts and 13 example questions with step by step solutions plus 3 interactive review questions with solutions.
